The research, by ZenAuto revealed the UK’s most Instagrammable locations with EV charging points.

Rhossil Bay features as one of two Welsh locations in the Top 10 most snapped scenic areas with EV charger access, determined by the number of Instagram tagged posts.

With many people already be taking longer road journeys this Summer, ZenAuto say they wanted to help those in EVs feel more confident about how easy it is to charge their vehicles when out on scenic road trips.

Reviewing the data, our expert said: “Rhossili Bay offers some of the prettiest coastlines in the country. There’s a slower charger at the National Trust (Rhosili, Swansea, SA3 1PR) which offers a good excuse to drop by and enjoy one of the local cafes or explore the outstanding natural beauty with your canine companion. There’s a short gravel footpath along the cliff top where you can take in the views. There’s also access to the scenic Rhosili Bay beach is via a steep path.”

Rhossili Bay ranks 6th in the top 10 most instagramable UK charging points for EVs with 47,700 Instagram posts.

Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland came out top with 223,000 Instagram posts, with Bakewell in the Peak District second (130,000 Instagram posts).

The Cairngorms National Park in Scotland was third (104,000 Instagram posts), and Snowdonia National Park, in North Wales fourth with 95,700 Instagram posts.
