Swansea Ramblers Walk


Dynevor Bluebells

12th May 2013

Leader: Myra Lewis & Gail Allen




Gail and Myra took us throught the historic parkland of the National Trust Estate at Dynevor (Dinefwr).  The bluebells were out and we had a magnificent swathe of blue under the trees.

Unfortunately it rained but that didn't dampen our spirits.  We visited the old castle and sheltered in the dry to eat our lunch.  Afterwards, we went to The White Horse in Llandeilo for refreshments and to socialise some more.



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.
