Swansea Ramblers had a three day festival of walks over the bank holiday weekend as part of "The Big Welsh Walk" Festival.
Professor John France took us on a journey through Swansea's industrial history. Starting at Toys R Us, he explained that 200 years ago we would probably have been standing on a sandbank in the River Tawe where ships were loaded and unloaded.
He then took us around the disused docklands area and told us about Swansea's role in the world's copper industry. It was a very interesting talk and video of some of his lecture can be seen by clicking the photograph links.
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?
