Rhossili Down Radar Station

The footprint of a 1942 Chain Home Low station above Gower's best beach

Rhossili Down Radar Station

Operational by 1942, this west-facing slope hosted a radar station that watched the Bristol Channel for shipping and low-flying aircraft, later folded into the Chain Home Low network. The buildings, about 90 meters end to end, are gone, but their concrete foundations remain, with the sea behind them. You pass them on the walk up Rhossili Down; the station closed around 1945.
