Gower or the Gower Peninsula ((ウェールズ語:Gŵyr) or ) is a peninsula in South Wales, projecting westwards into the Bristol Channel, and administratively part of the City and County of Swansea.

== Geography ==
About in area, Gower is known for its coastline, popular with walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, especially surfers. Gower has many caves, including Paviland Cave and Minchin Hole Cave. The peninsula is bounded by the Loughor Estuary to the north and Swansea Bay to the east. Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers 188 km², including most of the peninsula west of Crofty, Three Crosses, Upper Killay, Blackpill and Bishopston.〔(The City and County of Swansea )〕 The highest point of Gower is The Beacon at Rhossili Down at 193 metres (633 ft) overlooking Rhossili Bay.〔(Enjoy Gower – Gower Beaches )〕 Pwll Du and the Bishopton Valley form a statutory Local Nature Reserve.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Pwll Du and Bishopton Local Nature Reserve )〕
The interior of Gower consists mainly of farmland and common land. The population resides mainly in villages and small communities, though suburban development has made a number of communities in eastern Gower part of the Swansea Urban Area.〔(Gower (2008). In Encyclopædia Britannica. Retrieved July 22, 2008, from Encyclopædia Britannica Online )〕
The southern coast consists of a series of small, rocky or sandy bays, such as Langland and Three Cliffs, and larger beaches such as Port Eynon, Rhossili and Oxwich Bay. The north of the peninsula has fewer beaches, and is home to the cockle-beds of Penclawdd.
