Swansea & Gower Peninsula
The Gower Peninsula is one of Wales’ most popular spots, and is where the Zeta-Jones-Douglas clan have their British base. The Gower Peninsula was the country’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and has spectacular landscapes peppered with pre-historic, Roman, Celtic, Saxon, Viking and Norman relics. Nearby is Wales’ second city, Swansea, which has a good selection of museums and galleries.
2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
