Tips

On the western tip of the Gower Peninsula is the long, sweeping bay of Rhossili. It is bordered with Worms Head on the one side and Burry Holmes Island on the other. In between are golden sands, replete with a shipwreck, that are overlooked with the long ridgeline of Rhossili Down, which culminates at its 193-metre high trig point. It is a stunning place punctuated with beautiful pink gorse bushes in the summer, along good-quality footpaths with wide panoramic views down onto the sands below and out to sea.

Llangennith Burrows beach itself lies at the Western end of Rhossili Bay and is a sandy, sprawling beach backing onto sand dunes. Very popular with surfers.

Burry Holms becomes an island when the tide is in, but is accessible for approximately 2 hours either side of low tide. There are ruins of a medieval monastic settlement on the island and each year there are special religious ceremonies held there.
