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.

Llanmadoc Hill has fine views across towards Rhossili Down and nearby Harding's Down. With a trig point, a cairn, and an orientation table, it has a nice broad summit, which has few access paths to the the top. At 186 metres high, it is also a UK-designated P100 hill with 105 metres of prominence.

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.

The tide times for the day are posted here. Be sure to pay attention

There are beautiful views out to Worms Head from here. At low tide you can even walk out to the headland but be sure to check with the nearby coastguard station (NCI) to see if the tide is right and only attempt it if it is within your ability.

Out at the rugged end of Whiteford sands is Whiteford Point Lighthouse (also referred to as Whitford Point). It was built in 1865 to mark Whitford Point shoals, in the Burry estuary. This is a great place for a run with a nice flat but sandy sock filled route with great sea views.

One of the most famous places in Wales. The viewpoint where you can look out at a tidal rocky causeway connected piece of land that is straight out of the film 'The land that time forgot.' Simply a stunning vista on any day of the week.

The summit of Llanmadoc Hill is only 186m high but it makes for a really good run out from Llanmadoc. The views are pretty special on a sky blue day. The summit is marked by an Ordnance Survey Trig Point.
