Swansea Ramblers Walk


Oxwich via the new bridge

17th April 2010

Leader: Gerry and Pam Horsey




Gerry and Pam started in Penmaen and walked to Oxwich via Nicholaston Burrows.  

On the way we crossed the new coast path bridge to get over the Nicholaston Pill (In 2021 this was replaced by a newer bridge due to structural issues in one of the abutments).

From Oxwich, we headed inland to Millwood then continued uphill to Cefn Bryn.  We could see the new bridge from the high vantage point as we descended into back into Penmaen.



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.
