A market town and spa resort since medieval times, the Welsh seaside town of Swansea has an effortless appeal that still endures today, even though much of the historic city centre was lost as a result of war time bombing.
With its stretching sandy beaches, rugged coastal walks, medieval castles and lively maritime quarter, it is easy to fall in love with the place that the poet Dylan Thomas once described as "the most romantic town I know".
