Worm's Head
A tidal island shaped like a sea serpent. At low tide, you can cross the rocky causeway to the island, making it the most iconic headland on the Gower Peninsula.
Worm's Head is a long tidal island extending into the sea from the southern end of Rhossili Bay. The Vikings called it the 'Dragon.' At low tide, a rocky causeway about 1 km long is exposed, leading to the inner island, then through the natural stone arch known as the Devil's Bridge, and on to the outer island. The round trip takes about 3 to 4 hours. Check the tide times at the coastguard station before you go. If you miss the return window, you can be stranded on the island for nearly 12 hours. Grey seals and seabirds are often seen on the cliffs.
