  • swansea's like banging ini! • Pam L.
  • Good fish and chips!! And a long beach walk! • Lizzie B.
  • If ever in Swansea, visit the Monkey. It's a great mellow club in which you can listen to some bands that sing only in Welsh. And I don't mean folk music! They play all sorts of cool stuff. • Lena D.
