Positioned on the headland overlooking the dramatic cliffs of south-west Gower, the Worm's Head National Coastwatch station provides a continuous visual watch across Rhossili Bay and the outer Bristol Channel.
As a Declared Facility under HM Coastguard, our trained volunteer watchkeepers monitor leisure craft, walkers traversing the tidal causeway, swimmers, and commercial vessels, spotting hazards before they develop into emergencies.
