Rhossili Bay

#thingstodo First time in the Gower and we headed straight for Rhossili bay, it is a stunning area and well worth a visit (or two. A lovely walk along the cliffs toward Wormshead gives you fantastic views so have your camera at the ready or if you go the other way you climb down the cliffs to the long sandy beach where you can walk and walk and walk, seemingly as if there is hardly anybody else around. The area is National trust so the car part is free to NT members and there is a NT shop there for you to peruse before or after your adventure. Take a picnic or eat in either the Wormshead hotel or one of the cafes there...plenty to choose from. Its nice to just sit and enjoy the views at the top by the car park. Note that the climb to the beach is quite a trek down (and up) so make sure you are up to it before starting your journey down. Plenty of photos on other reviews already...they speak for themselves. We stayed just a couple of hours and just walked along the cliff and not down to the beach, but you still get great views/ experience. Quite busy even on a September weekday, but plenty of overflow parking. £3 for 2 hours. Pleasantly surprised to see the ponies wandering around the cliff, but by coincidence there is an article on BBC news today, that the farmer is considering removing them as some members of the public are being irresponsible, when taking pictures etc and frightening/stressing them. Plus problems with dogs and kids getting kicked by standing behind them. Four different options for food/drink. A NT cate, a hotel/pub and two cafes. Plus toilets.
