On the Gower Peninsula in Glamorgan, this site was proposed to the Society primarily for its birdlife. A tidal island in Rhossili bay, Worm’s Head is part of the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) – the first AONB to be designated in the UK in 1956. The bay consists of a long, sandy beach, lowland heath and the rocky outcrop at Worm’s Head. Grey seals, choughs and peregrine falcons are just some the species that can be seen here. The site is part of a National Nature Reserve (NNR) and is managed by the National Trust.
