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.apricorum04/07/2015
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.Dugswell201/07/2015
With Doug. Plenty of time remaining after doing Worm's HeadColin Crawford01/07/2015
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.Dusty29/04/2015
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.jonglew23/11/2014

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.pdantic03/08/1984
