Rhossili Downs Circular - Gower Walking Festival

This is a 9km (5.5miles) walk from the National Trust Car Park in Rhossili, along the middle path of Rhossili Downs, behind the Rectory and on to Hillend. Rhossili Bay and Worm’s Head can be seen during the walk and you can see the Helvetia wreck en route.

We then circle West from Hillend and come back up onto Rhossili Downs to the Radar Station, where there are spectacular 360 views of Gower on a clear day. We will then walk across the top of the Downs to the trig point and then drop back down to our start point via the fields, south of the Downs.
