The King’s Head stands beside St Cenydd’s church at Llangennith, at the top end of Rhossili Bay. It’s the obvious gathering point for the surf crowd — Llangennith beach, a mile or so down the lane, is one of Wales’s best-known surfing spots. Pembrey & Burry Port station is roughly 9km to the north.
