Rhossili, which lies at
the western end of the Gower Peninsula and
overlooks dramatic Worms Head, boasts a flat
sandy beach, dramatic views and the sort of
conditions that surfers, paragliders and
others love to experience.
There are numerous burial
chambers on the downs nearby, including the
reputed grave of Sweyne Forkbeard, the Danish
king who gave his name to Swansea. Remains of
a Stone Age human were found in a local cave.
Offshore lies the wreck of
the Helvetia that ran aground in Rhossili Bay
in 1887. |
