About the area
Southgate facts
Southgate is a Gower-edge settlement of lanes, hedge banks, farmland and older stone boundaries. It is part of Bishopston, Pennard & South Gower villages within the City and County of Swansea.
- Sits on or close to the Gower Peninsula, the United Kingdom's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, designated in 1956.
- Field boundaries, lanes and older stone walls give the area its long-established rural pattern.
- Local life mixes farmland, commuting to Swansea and steady visitor traffic in the warmer months.

Where to look
Hedge banks, garden edges, lanes, ditches and nearby fields are the main places where invasive or escaping garden plants can establish around Southgate.
This is habitat guidance, not a claim that a particular property or site is infested.
