A Conversation for The Bays of the Gower Peninsula

Just a few points.
Swansea Bay actually runs from Porthcawl in the east, not Briton Ferry.
Gower's 'Englishness' was largely confined to the south; north Gower was always Welsh. And I was always taught that those who settled south Gower came from north Devon and Somerset, not south Devon as quoted.
Port Eynon is named after a Welsh chieftan named Einion, not "Eynon", this being an anglicisation and now a local surname. As a boy growing up in Swansea I remember a string of Eynon's cafes.

Thanks for that. I wrote as much of this as I could from memory, which is still pretty good but far from infallible. Now, where's that bloody Curator when you need him?
