A Gower Walk with a difference! Created by our former footpath officer, the late Peter Thomas, a long distance Gower path winds its way from the most northerly point of The Lordship of Gower to the south-western tip of peninsula Gower. The Gower Way explores not just what people today think of as Gower - The peninsula with its beaches, cliffs and country walking but also the rest of Gower. This is an area formerly ruled over by the Lords of Gower and which covers what now forms the northern extent of the City & County of Swansea above the Lliw Reservoirs and descends down to the City of Swansea itself - so everyone living in Swansea west of the River Tawe is a citizen of Gower! Swansea Ramblers have arranged a series of six walks to complete the whole of The Gower Way by September 2014. We are being supported by The City & County of Swansea via their Countryside Connections team. Tim Orrell of that department was on hand to describe the natural environment through which we walked and help to connect the public with the countryside. Over thirty people came out to explore this area, some visiting Felindre and northern Swansea for the first time. If you'd like to try a walk then do come along and find out what all this Swansea Walking in the great outdoors is all about. It won't cost you anything to come along and see if walking is for you. If you get the bug and want to walk or stroll regularly then you can also become a member. Just ask us about the walks and social events we do when you join us for a Swansea Walk.
