About the area
Angle facts
Angle is an exposed stretch of the Swansea and Gower coastline, shaped by salt wind, sand and rock. It is part of the Haverfordwest, Tenby & the Pembrokeshire Coast area, within about 30 miles of Swansea.
- Angle developed as a planned Anglo-Norman village close to the establishment of the manor around 1100.
- It keeps a medieval pele tower at Castle Farm and the remains of an Iron Age fort above Castle Bay.
- Forms part of Swansea's coastline along the Bristol Channel, where the tidal range is among the largest in the world.
- Cliffs, dunes and shingle here support specialised plants that cope with salt, wind and shifting sand.

Local habitat
Where to look
Cliffs, dunes, coast-path edges, scrub and disturbed beach approaches are the main places where invasive or escaping garden plants can establish around Angle.
This is habitat guidance, not a claim that a particular property or site is infested.
