On one Saturday each month you will find Sauna Hut nestled beside the mill leat at the Gower Heritage Centre (GHC) in Parkmill. We will have the fire going in the thatched round house as an additional place for you to relax and enjoy a restorative experience. Parkmill is in Gower, the UK’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It is a 30 minute to an hours walk from the exceptional beaches of Three Cliffs Bay, Pobbles and Tor. There are many excellent walks to be had from here, along winding river valleys to gold sand beaches, through woodlands and valleys with hidden caves and up on to Cefn Bryn, one of the hills that dominates the Gower landscape and will give you incredible views. Whether you wish to paddle-board, walk, run or cycle, this is the perfect starting point - and you get to round off your day’s adventure with a quality sauna experience at Sauna Hut Wales!
In Parkmill we are set up beside the mill leat/river where a step ladder leads you into the COLD waters, the perfect partner for our HOT sauna. If you are lucky whilst in the river you may spot the resident Kingfisher or the bobbing Dipper, see photograph of this beautiful bird below taken by my good friend Paul Thomas (Tomsk) on this mill leat. Those who do not wish to brave the river can refresh themselves with a jug of cold water from our metal buckets or book our 5ft water tub for an extra refreshing dip! We will also have a log fire burning in the thatched round house beside the mill leat, a relaxing place to change or just spend some time beside the fire.

Sauna Hut Wales origin story
A family business
We (Bethan, Barney and Tid) were inspired by our travels in a number of sauna loving countries, where daily sauna use is the norm. We experienenced a range of different saunas, in different environments, with a variety of people and came to understand the benefits of a quality sauna experience. This experience was focused around the sauna, but often included the company of others, cold water immersion and time outdoors. We came to realise that it was the combination of these elements that was most beneficial. So we designed and built a beautiful mobile wood fired sauna and plan to explore how we can offer an exceptional sauna experience to a Swansea and Gower communities.
