Rhossili Down is a long ridge on the western tip of the Gower Penninsula. It stretches from Worms Head to Burry Holmes Island. It is a marvellous bit of high ground but only goes up to a height of 193-metres. Despite its diminuitive size, the views from its trig pointed summit are magnificent. The views down, over Worms Head, are simply world-class.
