Swansea Ramblers Walk


Laugharne

14th August 2010

Leader: John Mellor




.John led another of his walks from laugharne.  We walked beneath the castle but John had forgotten to check the tides so we got our feet wet!  passing Dylan Thomas' House, we made our way north to Delacorse, then to the Church of St Martin where Dylan Thomas is buried.  We then made our way to Llandawke for lunch before heading to Llansadwrnen.  We then picked up the coast path back to Laugharne.



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.
