At the southernmost point of the Heart of Wales Line, Swansea Station provides connections with Cardiff, Birmingham and London Paddington.

The city centre provides all that would be expected from Wales's 2nd city, such as all the major high street stores, the largest indoor market in Wales, the Grand Theatre and some of the best nightlife in the UK around the Kingsway and Wind Street.

Attractions around the marina include the National Waterfront Museum, the Dylan Thomas Centre and the sandy beach. The beautiful sweeping coastline to Mumbles is a joy to admire, walk or cycle. Routes 4 and 43 of the National Cycle Network run through here. More information about Swansea bay is available from visitSwanseaBay.com.
