Event Information

SOLD OUT. To be informed of future Rhossili trips, please email giveitago@cardiff.ac.uk

Live in halls? As a part of our residential life’s teams’ commitment to making the student experience more enjoyable in Residences, they are pleased to let you know that they will be subsidizing the first £5.00 of your trip ticket! This is for the first 20 students currently staying in University managed accommodation to purchase a ticket. Residence life offer free events and activities to students living in halls, as well as providing support and guidance to help you during your time in halls of residence. 

Rhossili Bay is the premier beach destination of the Gower peninsular, the UK's first designated area of outstanding natural beauty - and it's not hard to see why. The beach itself has been held as the 3rd best beach in Europe and 9th best in the world! Quite an accolade when you think that the competition includes Australia, Bermuda and Brazil.

You will find 3 miles of sandy shore, encompassing one of Gower’s most famous landmarks, Worms Head. Watersports, in particular surfing, benefit from the Atlantic swell, whilst sand-castle builders benefit from the fine golden sand. The views are incomparable and are best enjoyed from one of the many walking routes, which feature the beach, Worm’s Head and the cliffs, you may even see some basking seals or dolphins playing in the surf.
