There have been several guides published for this area (Gower & SE Wales), but unfortunately not many for bouldering. Admittedly there have been some development in Gower and The Trench between Ogmore-by-sea and Southerndown. However, I believe that the aforementioned bouldering areas can not be the only areas that are worth publishing. The Gower & SE Wales rock climbing guide does mention some worthwhile bouldering areas, but unfortunately it doesn't have any documented problems. For some of the areas documented on this site a bouldering map is recommended.
