Swansea Ramblers Walk


Pub Lunch at Parkmill

- with a walk thrown in as well

26th January 2013

Leader: Bob Denley




Bob led us on a walk through the woods in Parkmill, starting at the Gower Inn, past Shepherds and Parkmill Heritage Centre and up to Green Cwm.  We turned right to go behind the Celtic spring, now a Welsh Water pumping Station and climbed Willoxton Cwm to reach Lunnon.  It was a bit too muddy to descend to Ilston Cwm so we took the path down to Parkmill and back along the road.

We were joined yet again by new walkers who wanted to do some walking.



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.
