Not a Gower Walk this week but a Swansea Walk almost in the centre of Swansea! Between Mumbles and the City Centre is a hidden gem of a park where many years ago Admiral Heneage-Vivian created a Rhododendron Garden. The gardens contain many rare species of Rhododendrons and is free to visit.
Over thirty walkers braved the weather forecast to see the spectacular display of flowers before leaving the park and entering Clyne Valley Country Park for the equally beautiful display of woodland bluebells. The forecast spoke of showers but we set off in the dry thinking the forecast was wrong - well it was wrong! - those showers actually merged into one very long and heavy downpour that tested our waterproofing to the limit. Despite this, many new people turned up to enjoy this Swansea Ramblers walk and had a lovely time exploring the area so close to the centre of the city.
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?
