Named after
a shipwreck.
The Helvetia — a Norwegian barque — ran aground on Rhossili beach in 1887 carrying Canadian timber. Her ribs are still visible at low tide. The bar that bears her name is still pouring.
Local ales including Worm's Head Ale, Gower Gold and many more draught options, wines and spirits. A log fire burns when the weather turns.
