Little cafe offering drinks, cakes and ice creams

This is a scenic stretch of trail in the Gower, offering an uphill or downhill route (depending on direction) that passes near the area's highest point.

Rhossili Bay is the focal point of the Gower Peninsula. It is just such an iconic destination. In the immediate vicinity, you have views of the amazing rocky peninsula of Worms Head, the sweeping panoramic view across Rhossili Bay Beach, and the nearby ridge that forms Rhossili Down with its trig pointed summit. There is a National Trust car park here for parking, bars, and cafes. The path down to the beach is good but not accessible for wheelchairs, unfortunately. On the beach itself, there is the iconic wreck of the Norwegian barque Helvetia. The remains of the wreck at low tide are simply one of the most photographed locations on Gower, and its ribbed outline resembles something akin to a dinosaur ribcage poking its way out of the sand. On the far side of this glorious three-mile beach is Burry Holmes Island, but it is only accessible at low tide. This is equally so with nearby Worms Head, which is a great adventure but one that needs due care due to its rocky nature and tidal access. This iconic tidal penninsula is only available 2.5 hours either side of low tide, and the walk will take you a minimum of two hours. Ensure you are in good physical shape to do the journey and have checked the tide times before you depart. If in doubt or for further excellent information, see Chris Knight's webpage below. https://ohwhataknight.co.uk/blog/worms-head-hike-guide WARNING: Crossing to Worms Head has resulted in injuries and drowning fatalities in the past. If you have been caught out by the tide, do not attempt to swim ashore.

Worth leaving Sustrans Route 4 to take a look at the castle. Only a short diversion

Weobley Castle dates back to the 14th centure and is situated in a fine location overlooking the saltmarshes of the Gower Peninsula. The place was a fortified manor house more than a castle built by the powerful de la Bere family. The castle was attacked and damaged by the forces of Owain Glyndŵr in the early 15th century, but most of the building was left standing. The castle is now in the care of CADW.

Rhossili Beach stretches for miles, boasting golden sands and stunning vistas. Renowned for its dramatic cliffs and the iconic Worm's Head rock formation. It's a perfect spot to Grab an ice cream and rest your tired legs in the Atlantic Ocean.

The memorial at the Castle celebrates Gwenllian, one of Wales's greatest heroines. In 1136 she led a Welsh army against Marcher lord Maurice de Londres. The battle took place nearby and despite her bravery Gwenllian was captured and beheaded. Gwenllian was a princess by birth and marriage. Her husband, Gruffudd ap Rhys, was prince of Deheubarth; her father, Gruffudd ap Cynan, Prince of Gwynedd. King Henry I died in 1135. With no heir, England was left in turmoil. Sensing the chance to win back lands, the Welsh launched a campaign against Anglo Norman rule. Gruffudd travelled to Gwynedd to gather support. With her husband away, Gwenllian led her doomed army against a Norman counter attack. Gwenllian and Gruffudd's greatest legacy was their youngest son, The Lord Rhys, who rose to become the most important Welsh ruler of the time.

Really good cycle path with loads of stunning views, intersecting paths & trails on this route as well so you can easily explore!
