    Tips

    October 1, 2020

    Projecting a mile into the sea at the tip of the Gower peninsula, Worm’s Head (meaning ‘dragon’s head’) is a tidal island consisting of three dramatic pinnacles. And with a careful eye on the tide times, you can walk the entire length of it, reaching Outer Head where you appear to be standing on a mountain in the sea.

      Wear correct footwear and make sure you check the crossing times before you head over. 2.5 hours either side of low tide is safe. The first part of the causeway is a light scramble and takes around 20-30 minutes depending on your experience and confidence. Really fun, great views, spotted seals too!
