From Rhossili village we take a steep climb to the top of Rhossili Down. Enjoy stunning views across the bay to Worms head and, on a clear day, as far as the Pembrokeshire coast. We follow the path along the top, stopping to visit the ruins of the WW2 radar station, then drop down through Hillend caravan park to Rhossili beach. From here we’ll walk along the beach to the far end before climbing up onto the dunes and following the coast path to Broughton Bay. We then follow inland paths until we return to the north end of Rhossili Down. From here we take the path along the foot of Rhossili Down, overlooking the beach back to Rhossili village.
