Walk to the Worm

strenuous-icon

Join us on a walk from the National Trust Shop to the far end of Worms Head and back. En route we’ll delve into the rich history of Rhossili and the wildlife that lives there. Once you leave the mainland and traverse the causeway, it’s a challenging walk with steep inclines, long drops, and very rugged terrain. You’ll need to scramble up the very last part to reach the top of the Outerhead (or you can wait at the bottom). For this reason, it’s not recommended for dogs. We only have a 5 hour window of opportunity to get over to Worms Head, which makes the walk all the more interesting and challenging. Sturdy footwear is essential.
