Oxwich is a village on the Gower Peninsula, in the city and county of Swansea in south Wales.

The Mansel family were a minor gentry in South Wales, who grew in power and prestige under the Tudor monarchs.

[4] The series of coastal sand-dunes, lakes and woodland form a national nature reserve designated for its great variety of ecosystems, its rare and unusual plant life and for it very unusual combination of environment in such close proximity.

Oxwich Bay is one of the most popular beaches in Gower, which has an expanse of curving sand, with Cefn Bryn in the background.

An Oxwich Bay protection Fund was then launched, and a compromise was agreed to ensure limited felling.
