Thistleboon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The village of Thistleboon is perched on the high lands in the south east corner of the Gower peninsula, Swansea.

Much of the area is on steep hilly terrain set quite high above sea level. The roads are a mix of quiet residential streets and winding country lanes. The housing stock is a broad mix ranging from small bungalows to large and prestigious mansions. In the early millennium decade the area saw a new development of Barratt homes. Just off Plunch lane, there are some huge new houses in a highly prestigious development.

Much of Swansea's wealthy elite live here. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have a large house here. The house was built on the site of a caravan park that had to be re-located.
