From Broughton Burrows with Lesley. Reccy of rock climbing faces and new route potential. Impressive overhang on S face already done at E5 however easier lines remain. | Nick Canute | 11/02/2023 |

10 mile circular walk. Burry Holms, Broughton Burrows and Llanmadoc Hill with lunch at The Britannia Inn Llanmadoc. | Arbie | 02/02/2019 |
From the car park close to ugly caravan park. Path through sand dunes. Hurried to make sure of tides. Great views of Worms Head. Then on to Broughton Burrows. | Campbell Singer | 06/01/2019 |
Pleasant walk through huge sand dunes. Didn’t quite match the dramatic setting of Outer Head. With Dad. | Jemma Singer | 06/01/2019 |
while walking the wales coastal footpath approached directly from the coastline it seemed a bit of hard work up the rocks although probably I was just tired after a hard days walking. | hodder | 17/05/2018 |
From the P at SS444912 after first visiting the dune-top of Broughton Burrows. Return via the coast path. | summitsup | 07/12/2017 |
Walked From Rhossili after going to Worms Head, approached along the beach. | PeterD | 02/10/2016 |
Bit of a slog across the dunes to get there but otherwise a pleasant stroll with lovely views back to Worms Head across the sands. | sooztops | 19/09/2016 |
Easy paddle 40mins after mid tide, wouldn't want to leave it later. From east, parking £3, back via Burrows | RHW | 13/08/2016 |
Approached from car park just inside caravan park - hard work across the dunes - terrific view along the beach to Worm's Head. | Chris Peart | 27/04/2016 |
From Middleton up to the Beacon/trig along Rhossili Down through Llangennith & up onto Llanmadic Hill-great views, down & across Broughton Burrows & onto Burry Holms back along the beach, a dip in the sea, up to Rhossili & Midleton. Initally cloudy couple of showers then very hot with a good breeze. | apricorum | 04/07/2015 |
Parked at the end of Burrows Lane before the entrance to the caravan park, then walked down the track towards the beach with Colin Crawford. The flora on the dunes was stunning. Easy crossing on mainly sand to Burry Holms for our second tidal island of the morning. | Dugswell2 | 01/07/2015 |
With Doug. Plenty of time remaining after doing Worm's Head | Colin Crawford | 01/07/2015 |
Spent so long on the island enjoying the sunshine and peace and quiet I gave myself not enough time to visit Worms Head. Another Day. | Dusty | 29/04/2015 |
From car park to E. Good sandy track through dunes to shoreline. Tide coming in but plenty of time to pop up onto this little tidal island to bag the tump and have some lunch. Some ruined buildings and earthworks lower down on landward side. | jonglew | 23/11/2014 |
While at Swansea Uni | BobHancock | 01/05/1998 |
Climbed whilst leader at St Madoc Youth camp, and a second time with friends on holiday. A tidal island, not as good as Worms Head, but still a great situation and superb view of Rhossili beach. | pdantic | 03/08/1984 |
