A day walking from Rhossili with Alma Aurea. The tides were low in the morning so we went out to Worms Head first, visiting the two summits Inner and Outer. Some fun scrambling over the rocks and in places but nothing too hard and stunning scenic. Then in the afternoon we walked up Rhossili Down to the summit and then back via Hillend. A really god viewpoint at the trigpoint over the Worm and this end of the Gower Peninsula.

One of my favourite trigs of all, this requires a long, steep trudge to get to the top, but once you do, the views (in all directions but across the coast in particular) are absolutely exceptional. A must-visit.

A very special place and a walk I never will never get tired of doing, especially on a warm, clear sunny evening.....not a soul around and only wild ponies for company. I walked from Middleton along the hill and down a rocky ridge to the campsite and returned via the beach to Rhosilli. Given to that "chuffed feeling" you get, when your plans to travel by public transport in this country actually do work. Let's be honest, the appalling state of our transport systems is not encouraging.

Up Rhossili Down, along the ridge (another Devonian Breccia ridge) descended down to Hillend and returned via the coast path. An excellent walk. Fine views to the Worm's Head and Whiteford Point. In fact in all directions. A top location.

YSM444 (Rhossili Down) After a meal and a drink in the Hotel there was just time to nab a nearby cache and this Trig Point/YOSM before our Event Cache "Sunset on the Welsh MEGA Event". After nabbing the nearby geocache "Take Off" it was a easy walk over to the Trig Point. Got the phone out to take a photo only to find that the battery was flat! Still logged the number on the plate and e-mailed it off to the Cache Owner.

Walked up from Rhossili, feeling a bit out of breath at the top only to see a cyclist riding up to Trig.

The pillar is highly visible and easily accessible being at the side of a public footpath. I parked in the church car park (donation) and simply walked up to the top of the cliffs and the trig. Pillar is in very good condition and retains an original plug. An absolutely wonderful location particularly on a lovely spring day.

Good nick, plug intact. Slightly hazy but still great views. Just possible to spot the Beacons with binocs. Short walk up from Rhossili village - look out for the flush bracket on the Rocket House building on the way up!

I'm sorry, but I think this must have one of the best views of any trig point in Great Britain! I relived memories of 25 years ago, going out fishing on Worms Head overnight, catching and cooking mackrel on an open fire, sleeping under the stars and then going straight into work the next day.
