Rhossili Down

Rhossili beach is backed by the steep slopes of this humpbacked, heather-covered ridge (193m), whose updraughts create perfect soaring conditions for hang-gliders and paragliders. On the summit are numerous Iron Age earthworks, a burial chamber called Sweyne's Howe and the remains of a WWII radar station. The path to the top is easily accessed from the village.
