Every year, thousands of Swansea and Gower residents and visitors to the region flock to Rhossili Bay to take a picture-perfect photo in the beautiful sunflower fields - and this year will be no exception. Rhossili Sunflowers, a sunflower farm managed by Rob Morgan of Gower Fresh Christmas Trees, opens for the summer season today (Saturday, July 16) - and people are in for a treat.
This year, there are two fields to explore: one "pick your own" field with thousands of sunflowers to choose from to take home (priced at just £1.50 each), and another field with a gorgeous "sunflower trail" to explore and "seashore safari" with wooden sculptures to find. There's also a cafe on site and various photo opportunities to enjoy, including a gorgeous sunflower archway, a wooden swing - and even an arch for your dogs!
A few years back, the only sunflower fields at Rhossili Bay were located on land owned and managed by the National Trust. They were a very popular attraction every year, but in 2020 the Trust was unable to plant the fields due to its staff being furloughed during the pandemic. Instead, local farmer Rob stepped in and bought two fields next to the National Trust site and planted thousands of sunflowers for people of all ages to enjoy that summer.
