  • Riding on Beaches and Estuaries
    ADVICE ON Riding on Beaches and Estuaries 2 There are a number of beaches around England, Wales and Ireland that allow riding and BHS Approved centres that offer the opportunity to ride on a beach. There are many health benefits of riding on a sandy beach for horse and rider. Long sandy stretches are good for building up fitness levels and often the sand can encourage muscle tone and strength. It can provide outstanding views of the sea and is a refreshing way to see areas of beauty throughout the coasts of England, Wales and Ireland. Beach riding can be a wonderful experience for both you and your horse if you are aware of a few points of legality and safety, so please read all the guidance in this leaflet. Estuaries are where rivers meet the sea and they are unpredictable places, requiring caution and respect for the variety of conditions underfoot, the special ecology and the potential risks in riding there. While large expanses of open ground look inviting to riders, some of the conditions encountered may be dangerous. However, with due care and knowledge, estuaries can provide excellent riding opportunities. Is riding on the beach permitted? Check that riding on the beach is permitted. It may be limited to certain times, days or areas and there may be bylaws. Restrictions on time will often be to riders’ benefit, being at quieter periods such as early morning and late evening when there may be fewer other users to avoid. If there are areas where riding is not permitted, be sure you are clear about their extent and avoid them carefully; their boundaries may not be obvious even if they are above high water because signs and fences tend not to last long on the shore or may not be permitted.

  • Excavations at Cathole Cave, Gower, Swansea
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2014, 26 (2), 131-169 EXCAVATIONS AT CATHOLE CAVE, GOWER, SWANSEA by ELIZABETH A. WALKER, DAVID CASE, CLAIRE INGREM, JENNIFER R. JONES and RICHARD MOURNE ABSTRACT The discovery of an engraving in Cathole Cave in 2010 led to a decision to grille the cave. In 2012 excava- tions took place in the cave ahead of the grilling. Two areas of the cave were excavated; Trench A demonstrating that the cave held a faunal occupation dating to MIS 3, at a time, or times, between 50,000 and 30,000 BP. Two flint blades of Upper Palaeolithic appearance were discovered along with a faunal assemblage from within the shallow deposits across the line of the grille. The work demonstrated that the earlier excavations in the cave by Col. E.R. Wood were extensive and at this point in the cave he excavated to bedrock. The standing section (Area B) which he left exposed further along the main cave passage was also cleaned, recorded and sampled. The deposits contain a faunal assemblage dominated by microfauna, but no cultural artefacts were found. The dating of key animal bones, the analysis of the microfauna and the sedimentological analysis have together enabled a picture to be developed of the changes in this section from the mid-Devensian to Late Glacial and Holocene. INTRODUCTION Cathole Cave is located in an inland dry valley, Green Cwm, Gower, Swansea, (NGR: SS 53764 90011; Figure 1). The cave lies in a fractured and weathered limestone cliff above the valley in which the Neolithic Severn Cotswold tomb of Parc le Breos Cwm is sited.

Tides Worms Head is only accessable 2.5 hours either side of low tide. You must check the tide times in advance to do this part of the walk. Length 10km / 6.1 miles OS Map OS Explorer (Gower) Toughness 4 out of 10 (except for optional scambling over Worm's Head) Features These 2 walks starts in Rhossili, a small village at the south west end of the Gower Peninsular. Rhossili is named after a truly stunning beach, regularly on best in the world lists. Both walks head out from the village (pub, tea rooms, bus to Swansea) to its headland. The first is the classic walk out to the Worm's Head (NT), 2 small islands which are cut off by the sea at high tide. You must plan this walk in advance by consulting tide timetables. The second walk is a gentle cliff walk around Rhossili headland (with stunning views of the beach), continuing past Worms Head, around to Mewslade Bay, and back across the headland to Rhossili village. These 2 walks can be done together, but either is a spectacular walk on it own. The walk, including Worm's Head is suitable for children, with adult supervision. Dogs should not be off the lead due to sheep, and cliff edges.
