Every year, a handful of visitors get stranded on Worm's Head off Rhossili in Gower. Despite plenty of signs warning people what time they need to leave the headland to get back to the mainland before the tide comes in, there's always some that ignore them or simply don't realise how important it is to follow the instructions!
Worm's Head is a large, hilly mass of land popular with walkers, especially as it offers an amazing view back of the beautiful Rhossili Bay and headland. At low tide it is accessible across a rocky strip of land, but the access vanishes beneath the waves once the tide comes back in.
In 2022, eight people got stranded on Worm's Head in five separate incidents - and so far this year, there's already been two incidents involving a total of five people being stranded. One incident last week was captured on video and Coastwatch volunteers' unexpected (to some) reaction shared on TikTok. Scroll down to watch the video, which has already been 'liked' more than 140,000 times.
