Description

Rhossili is a small village on the southwestern tip of the Gower Peninsula. Rhossili Bay curves along an arc running northwards from the village. The 2.8-mile (4.5 km) wide sandy beach is backed with sand dunes. You can make circular walks along Rhossili Down and the beach is good for Turnfálki, Sandlóa, Þúfutittlingur and eastward towards Paviland caves could produce Hagaskvetta, Vallskvetta and Bjargkorpungur.
