Wrapping up again with warm gear we set off to walk down to The Worms Head, accessible by causeway over mid day due to the low tide.
The causeway takes you over exposed rock formations to the island where there are great views of the head and Rhossili beach. The tide was turning so we returned for lunch at he van. In the afternoon we walked along the beach then returned by a section of the Welsh Coastal Path which runs at a higher level above the beach under the high hills. We found this to be a very special place and a magnificent unspoilt beach location. We returned to our site from the headland in darkness which made for an interesting trip through the narrow country lanes when we missed our main road turning.
