Spectacular views and walks along the coastal paths in addition to a stunning beach, dog friendly and unbelievably quiet for June. A must do if on the Gower.

Mesmerizing place! So versatile - amazing cliffs, beautiful huge sandy beach, free running ponnies and sheep, people surfing and fishinf in the sea and gliding in the sky, pathway to the island that can be crossed at the low tide.

Wow, just wow. Absolutely gorgeous of a place and location and fun for all the family. Large car and bus parking at the top with cafés for your refreshments and ice cream needs. Car park is run by the National Trust so look to pay high. Please be mindful that although part of the walk is concrete, the other half isn't and it's quite steep. Don't take a lot and it isn't wheelchair accessible (lot of steps) Took us 10 mins down but 20 mins up.

★★★★★ 5 stars National Trust - Rhossili and South Gower Coast is truly one of the most beautiful beaches in the UK. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking with dramatic cliffs, wide open views, and the iconic island just off the coast. There is a large car park, and the beach is only a short, easy walk away, which makes access very convenient. Once you reach the viewpoint, the scenery honestly takes your breath away. Highly recommended for anyone visiting South Wales — an unforgettable spot with incredible natural beauty.

Absolutely beautiful. Bit of a drive to get to but well worth it. You need to pay when you park there but it's not much. From there a walk down to a beach that's lovely in summer I'm sure, or can walk to worms head little island and over the bluffs there. Make sure to go early as once the tide is in you cannot cross to the island. The little villages along the way are lovely as well, adding to the rustic vibe of the whole journey there. Well worth the trip
