Rhossili, United Kingdom beach guide & holiday information
Loading...
This historical village in the western area of the Gower Peninsula has long been an interesting and attractive destination and touring visitors should take the time to add Rhosilli, Wales, to their itinerary. However, it has not always been an innocent and pleasurable place. Around 1887 Rhosilli was the scene of the shipwrecking of the Helvetia, whose misfortune was a result of heavy weather and being lured to the dangerous waters by unscrupulous land-lubbers who then ransacked their hold. At low tide the weathered timbers of various old shipwrecks lie exposed to the eye. There is though an even older remnant of ages past in the church on the village. The arch of the doorway is believed to have been built in the 11th century. There have even been findings of the Iron Age and the Stone Age.

Quite apart from dry and dusty relics, the lovely views of this part of the Gower Peninsula and the sandy beaches of this often over-looked piece of God's green earth make Rhosilli a great place for a beach holiday destination. Families and children can find accommodation here, as can single folk, including photographers looking for the perfect sunset. Paragliders can leap from soaring cliffs leaving hoi polloi beneath them and fly with the wind, while far, far below ramblers explore the downs and nature trails.

Accommodation in Rhosilli and its surrounds, range from quaint little hotels and their grander counterparts, to camping sites, B&B's and everything else that provides shelter and food.
