Rhossili Bay
Rhossili Bay
Looking north from the cliff top across the huge beach. The sheep happily graze the fresh spring grass just inches from the 230-foot drop. Rhossili Down on the right is popular with hang-glider and parachute enthusiasts because of the updraft from prevailing westerlies. On the beach is the wreck of the Helvetia, which ran aground in November 1887.
