Penrice is a small rural community on the Gower Peninsula, just a short drive from Swansea. Perched above the coast around Oxwich Bay, it sits within the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is noted for its limestone cliffs, dunes, sandy beaches and good birdwatching and walking opportunities that draw holidaymakers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The locality is centred on the historic Penrice estate, with its castellated country house and the remains of an earlier medieval stronghold at Penrice Castle, giving a palpable sense of heritage. Today the economy mixes farming with tourism and coastal recreation, and the village retains a small, close-knit feel with local amenities and seasonal community events.
