Childhood
...Fantastic Family Tales From Wales
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by US writer Ransom Riggs (b. 1979), made into a hit film by Tim Burton, is set on the fictional Cairnholm Island in Wales during World War II. Although the island doesn't exist, Rhossilli village and the tidal promontory island Worm's Head (meaning ‘Dragon's Head’ in Norse) closely resemble the setting of the novel. Follow the National Trust's Headland Walk, build sand castles on the wide-sweeping beach, or climb to Rhossili Down for burial chambers, shipwrecks and awe-inspiring views of Rhossili Bay. Enjoy an ice cream in Rhossili before you leave.
