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 |

8.2 mile walk from road east of Llangennith. Up minor road to Upper Hardingsdown farm then easy track up to summit of Harding's Down. Then we followed well signposted footpath west then south along slopes of Rhossili Down ascending easily up to summit. Then we followed the scenic ridge north but at Bessie's Meadow took a good footpath into Llangennith. From here we ascended Llanmadoc Hill on track and up to summit following ridge to cairned sub-summit east descending back to car. Afterwards drove to and bagged Ryer's Down and Cefn Bryn. Sunny/breezy conditions with good views across the Gower but a bit too hazy to see much further. | DanTrig | 04/09/2021 |

From NT car park on a busy, hot day. £2.50 min. Cheaper than the Lakes - but there you get proper fells. | Eddie | 14/07/2019 |

A day off bagging Marilyns to walk with Jayne and Tom along the Wales Coast Path from Rhosilli to Llanmadoc, taking in Rhosilli Down along the way. Unfortunately thick sea mist restricted the view from the Beacon. 15.6km in 5h30m along the coast. | silveracorn_alan | 15/05/2018 |
