Vandring

Situated on the most westerly tip of the headland of Worm's Head, about 4.5 metres above the high water mark is one of Gower's least accessible caves which only experienced cavers should attempt to access. The entrance, washed by storm waves, leads to two small chambers, with a short passageway continuing deeper into the Outer Head. Excavations have uncovered human and animal bones such as mammoth, rhinoceros, bear and reindeer; and flint flakes and sling-stone, proving at one time this cave was easier to access.

In 1989 a rhyolite blade believed to be Upper Palaeolithic was discovered.

During the right conditions the blow hole is heard to emit noisy, impressive boomings and hissing; in fact, there is an old Gower saying - "The old Worm's blowing, time for a boat to be going".
