Rhossili occupies the far western tip of the Gower Peninsula, perched high above a three-mile curve of golden sand. This wild coastal outpost is defined by the dramatic limestone spine of Worm's Head. My top tip is to time your visit with the low tide to see the rib-like remains of the Helvetia shipwreck. You can walk the rugged cliff paths to catch sight of choughs and grey seals for free. The air feels sharp with salt spray and the scent of wild gorse. During August, vast fields of sunflowers create a bright yellow contrast against the deep blue sea. The view from the Down reaches across the waves toward the distant coast of Devon. Life here follows the rhythm of the tides.
