After a recent visit you'll be glad to know that Worms Head is alive and well and hardly seems to have changed! Rhossilli still at the end of the road - next stop Ireland, and the steps up from the beach are still as steep. There is a national trust shop there now and a tea room and a restaurant, but on the whole it's pretty quiet. Here are the pictures to remind you whelk boys (and girls) what it was like.....
Thats a strangely shaped worm! We never saw the sun when we were there!
Worms head is still that recognisable shape jutting out into the sea and still so tempting to walk out to. And still as easy to get stuck as you can only cross when the tide is out Remember the beach below the hotel where the headless coachman rides on stormy nights? I was walking in a storm at Halloween and we still didn't see him! Good for ghost stories though eh?!
Thats us trying to escape It looks quite a nice hotel from this distance
The sand dunes from Rhossilli Down. I don't think they'd invented parascending when we were there. And guess what - there were a group of students measuring marram grass in the sand dunes in October 2001...some things never change! The village perched on top of the cliff and the famous Worms Head Hotel where we stayed And a dead sheep and seagull who was adopted as our mascot?
Was it reall this nice? Who pulled that plug out?
Sunset over Worms Head. It's still very spectacular scenery if you get it when it's not raining. And it's better when you're not in the freezing cold counting periwinkles and whelks! Ah the rocks which are only visible at low tide. We of course left it a bit late and had to wade back the last few yards back to the mainland. It would have been a cold night stuck on Worms Head!
The beach is a bit crowded today! Those sheep are probably counting periwinkles!
The view over the beach and Rhossilli from Rhossilli Down. There are still shipwrecks in the sand the beach goes on forever. And here is the beach actually going on forever...well, actually as far as Bury Holms. Another island which you can only get to at low tide at the other end of the beach.

Don't jump up and down!

and you're fetching the ball!

The bridge actually on the Worms Head itself. Very scary but nice to know it hasn't dropped into the sea even after 30 years! The blow hole is still there as well. Just to show that the cliffs are still as steep as ever!Remember a barbecue on the haunted beach below in the dark?
