11 MILES
Our walk will lead to the village of Rhossili along the cliffs . On the way we’ll pass ancient forts, sheltered beaches and caves. On a clear day there are spectacular views view for miles, over Gower, South Wales, Devon. From Rhossili we’ll make our way back to Port Eynon via inland paths. The walk is approximately 11 miles and is undulating – with plenty of photo opportunities.
Tide-permitting, we might head out to the promontory of Worm’s Head off Rhossili, which is only accessible at low tide via a rocky causeway. Worm’s Head (from the Viking name ‘wurm’ meaning dragon) is spectacular with its large flat-topped summit, natural rock bridge called the Devil’s Bridge, blow hole and a headland that is teeming with birdlife, including the occasional appearance of puffins. (But please note, we DO NOT go on Worm’s Head during bird breeding season, March – July).
7.5 MILES
Walk and head east to Oxwich Bay via the headland of Oxwich Point, following the cliff tops through woodlands and then dropping down to the beach to explore the dune systems around Oxwich Burrows.
