Worms Head - Outer Head
| 12 May 2015 |
|
|
Outer Head is the spectacular culmination of the Worm's Head peninsula at the western extremity of the Gower Peninsula, south Wales.
It is connected to the main part of the Gower at Rhosili by a rocky causeway which is normally only uncovered two-and-a-half hours either side of low tide.
There are four distinct 'lumps' to Worm's Head - the long Inner Head, nearest Rhosili; Outer Head, the most distant seen here, and the lower Middle Head consisting of two separate summits, with the arch of Devil's Bridge between them. This view is from the eastern summit of Middle Head looking to the final magnificent western summit of Outer Head.
