Vikings and Neolithic Megaliths in Gower, Wales - History and legends of Sweyne's Howes

In this video we visit Sweyne’s Howes, a pair of Neolithic monuments on the slopes of Rhossili Down. A beautiful and fascinating location... with a nearby ridge offering stunning coastal views of Worms Head and beyond.
In this video we explore the archaeology of the ruins, as well as delve into the Viking legends associated with the local names. The Gower Peninsula is an incredibly important landscape in the study of human history. Home to megalithic ruins, Palaeolithic caves and much much more..
We will be back in Gower soon to check out the spots that we didn’t have time to visit. As always, let us know in the comments where you think we should go. Diolch yn fawr, thanks!
