Swansea Ramblers Walk


Penllergare Estate

15th November 2009

Leader: Merfyn Williams




Merfyn is one of our leaders and also a volunteer helping to restore the historic estate of the Dillwyn family.

The charitable trust has received lottery funding to create paths for the public to enjoy the natural area.  They are always looking for volunteers to join in the restoration so if you fancy helping out then contact the trust.  Mind you get the spelling right though!!  The area is spelled in the Welsh manner - Penllergaer but the historic estate uses the DIllwyn spelling of Penllergare.



Swansea Ramblers offer a range of walks for most abilities.

Try an easy walk of 2-3 hours or our longer strenuous mountain walks for the experienced walker.

Maybe you'd like to explore walking for the first time with a friendly group of people?
- Come with Swansea Ramblers!

If you'd like to try a Swansea walk then do come along and find out what the great outdoors is all about.

It won't cost you anything to come along and see if walking is for you.
You'll be very welcome to join us for three free walks.

If you enjoy walking with us and want to come on even more of our walks, just become a member.

When you join us for a Swansea Walk, ask us about the other walks and social events we do.
