D26649vs. Worm's Head Causeway.

D26649vs. Worm's on The Gower in South Wales is an off shore headland, connected to the mainland by a rocky causeway. But this causeway is only passable at low tide, so care is needed when crossing to make sure that there is sufficient time to return before the tide comes in again. People often get stranded over there - and this includes the famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas!

On the occasion of my visit the tide was coming in and Worm's Head causeway was rapidly disappearing under the rising waters and this photo shows the causeway already partially covered in water. This area has the World’s second highest tidal range which can be up to 49 feet / 15 metres and more details of Worm's Head can be found here:
