While the various lockdowns throughout the pandemic have halted visits, people are still interested in what Mumbles has to offer.

Read on for the most Googled places in Mumbles over the last 12 months.

Located on both Newton Road and West Cross Lane, Google searches for the shop increased sharply in the few months after the first lockdown was announced.
