  • Case Study 7 - Wales
    Case Study 7 - Wales 7.1. Introduction The landscape of Wales is characterised by relatively low-lying coastal zones backed by a hinterland of high mountains and hills, which have been dissected by river valleys flowing from the uplands towards the sea. The Welsh coastal zone itself comprises a strip of land and its adjacent shoreline and marine environment, which varies in width depending on the natural environment and the management needs of the area. Parts of the Welsh coastal zone are recognised as being important natural habitats and environments. Along these beautiful coastlines, historical developments illustrate the history of the country dating back to Roman times. Later, numerous magnificent castles were built, which has resulted in Wales having an outstanding legacy in terms of its architectural heritage (McInnes & Benstead, 20131). 7.1.1. Geology & Geomorphology Within its land area of just over 23,200 sq. km (8,000 sq. m) and measuring some 256km (160m) by 96km (60m), elements of all the major geological systems can be found in Wales, ranging from the ancient Cambrian rocks through to the Holocene. Mountain-building over geological time together with structural effects including uplifting, folding, faulting and subsequently weathering and erosion, have resulted in a coastline of great interest and diversity, which displays a wide range of geomorphological features as well as creating a landscape of enormous scenic beauty. The mountainous interior was severely affected by glaciation, and from this hinterland rivers incised deeply as they flowed from the centre of the country down to the relatively low-lying coastline. The variety of the coastal geology of Wales, as well as the structural form of the exposures including the joint lines, bedding planes and the angles of dip of the strata, all have an influence on the appearance of the coastline and contribute to form the features that are so much admired.

  • Rhossili Via Worms Head Circular (Wales Coast Path) Walk - SWC
    02/05/2020 Rhossili via Worms Head Circular (Wales Coast Path) walk - SWC Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Rhossili via Worms Head Circular (Wales Coast Path) walk A gentler cliff top headland walk a dramatic extension - a classic walk out to 2 small islands cut off at high tide, with stunning views of Rhossili beach. 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.

  • Coast Walk 7
    COASTAL RAMBLE: PORT EYNON – RHOSSILI A challenging and undulating route along clifftops and hidden bays This section of the Coastal Path forms one of the most beautiful and famous walks in the Gower Peninsula, taking in spectacular coastal and rugged scenery culminating in the iconic Worm’s Head, a spectacular promontory, as well as one of Wales’ and Britain’s finest beaches at Rhossili. The Walk in detail Alight from the bus from Swansea in Port Eynon (GR 468852). Signage is not very clear and you need first to walk to the seafront and turn R, skirting the top of the beach past the Youth Hostel. Then strike up the steep hill path towards a commemorative stone on the summit. From here, it is a grass path to Overton Mere, the path then undulating to Overton Cliff (GR 455850). Here, it divides with the official Coast Path going to the right to a point higher on the cliff; (an alternative, more interesting but more challenging, skirts the cliffs and rewards you with some very stunning scenery. However, after about 1km (Long Hole Cave), the lower path is closed and you must strike back up to the cliff top. Above the famous Paviland Cave, (GR 438862), there is a path to the right that leads to Pilton Green (1.5kms) on the main B4247 road. The path continues past Mewslade Bay where there is a steep drop down to the small valley before an inevitable steep ascent back to cliff tops. At the top of the climb, if you wish to shorten the walk, take the path directly ahead to Middleton and follow the main road to Rhossili.
