Pay close attention to the tides - tide tables are posted at the Rhossili Visitor Centre -
as people are regularly rescued after being cut off by the rising waters. Among those who
have spent a cold, nervous half-night trapped there was the young Dylan Thomas, as he
relates in the story 'Who Do You Wish Was With Us?', from
Portrait of the Artist as a
Young Dog.
If you do get stuck, do not try to wade or swim back. The currents are fierce
and the rocks treacherous.
South of the village is the Viel (pronounced 'vile'), a rare surviving example of a patch-
work of strip-fields first laid out in medieval times.
