Swansea Ramblers Walk


Swansea to Mumbles

19th April 2014

Leader: Helen Gough




Helen took us from the Civic Centre in Swansea for a walk along the beach.  This Swansea walk stopped off in Blackpill for coffee at The Junction before resuming our stroll along the Swansea foreshore.  Sunny again today but a bit fresh in the breeze.

Twenty of us enjoyed a relaxing stroll in fine weather and when we reached Oystermouth, some of us ended up in Verdi's for drinks and a pizza!  A few of us caught the Mumbles land train back to Blackpill and walked back from there.



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.
