Worm’s Head: Stranded students rescued from tidal island by RNLI

The RNLI team said the students were “extremely grateful” and “could not believe that all the crew were unpaid volunteers”.

Worm’s Head is usually accessible on foot for two hours and 30 minutes either side of low tide, but can close earlier due to strong winds accelerating the arrival of high tide.

Lawrie Grove, lifeboats operation manager, said its opening times were displayed near to the causeway.

“I would remind people when walking on or near the coast to make sure that they check local tide times and plan walks accordingly,” he added.

“They should never try to swim or wade to shore when cut off by the tide, it is extremely dangerous.”

It is not the first time students have had to be rescued from Worm’s Head, with a group of eight becoming stranded in October.
