Overview

A circular walk along Rhosili Down towards Llangennith, stopping at Hillend.

From the top of Rhosili Down, we can expect a wonderful panorama over Worms Head and Gower.  

There will be 360-degree views and on a clear day, we can see Tenby and Lundy across the water.

Lunch will be at Hillend where there are refreshments and toilets.

We will return to the car park via the lower path at the base of Rhosili Down.

N.B. The walk will be muddy in places.  
There are two small ascents (at beginning and end of walk).

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The Worms Head Hotel.
