Swansea Ramblers Walk


Tinkinswood Burial Chamber

23rd March 2013

Leader: Allan Harrison




We went on a walk with Cynon Valley Ramblers led by Allan Harrison.  It's good to walk with other Ramblers' groups to see where they like to walk and in return we lead walks in Gower for them.  Allan took us to see two burial chambers and on the way we had lots of mud to remind us of the bad weather we've been having.

It was bitterly cold but none of that heavy snow experienced in other parts of the UK.  We warmed up afterwards in The Red Lion where we socialised and had fun before making our way home.



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.
