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. Another beautiful hill with views over the Worms Head. /D | meltdiceburg | 26/10/2023 |

The second section of tidal causeway, ie between Inner and Outer Head, is quite awkward with jagged uneven low rocks. Outer Head looks very steep from the causeway but it's actually an easy walk to the summit which is on a rocky ridge with grassy slope S and steep drop north. Fun, spectacular and popular outing. Made with group from Port Eynon Hostel. We were there at c LW-2. | Denise | 05/02/2022 |
From Inner Head over the rocky obstacle course of Low Neck and across Devil's Bridge to tackle the impossibly steep looking Outer Head. A fine excursion. With a large group celebrating Tony's 60th Birthday. | RichardM | 05/02/2022 |

Spectacular walk. Conditions superb. Pleasant easy scramble to top. Inquisitive seals beneath cliffs on way back. Playing and showing off. Rates in my top ten hills. With Jemma. | Campbell Singer | 06/01/2019 |

A great walk out to this SIB. One of the best tidal islands surely. | jenx | 25/10/2018 |

Parked at Rhossoli National Trust car park, walked past BBC filming at Kitchen Corner, reached approach to Inner Head 5mins before low tide, crossed to blow hole on Northern rocks, but didn't check for seals. Fantastic crossing the Devil's bridge. Approach up to Outer Head not suitable for Steph, so could only imagine what the summit was like! Crossed back to South side of Inner Head using Causeway bedrock, easier under foot. Made it back before tide started creeping in...phew! Saw nesting Kestrel's and flying displays on sea cliffs from Kitchen corner. Fantastic afternoon out. With Steph | Rotorslap | 28/06/2017 |

Glorious day with good views, easy short scramble to reach the top. Plenty of others had done the same, so the top was not enjoyed in solitude. | PeterD | 02/10/2016 |
The 2 tumps in 1hr round trip from Rhossili, notices state doable 2.5hrs either side of low tide. Closure of Inner Head til end of Aug seems v conservative as no bird activity already by mid month. Summit an easy scramble; crossing from Inner Head more hazardous with polished slippery volcanic rock and plenty scope for injury, needs care. Superb pair of hills. | RHW | 13/08/2016 |

Tick with Colin Crawford. | Dugswell2 | 01/07/2015 |
Ignored the seasonal ban to climb steeply up to the top. No nesting birds in view. With Doug | Colin Crawford | 01/07/2015 |
