Swansea Ramblers Walk


Rheola Forest & Melincourt Waterfall

30th April 2014

Leader: Richard Beale




Richard of Swansea Ramblers arranged a joint midweek walk with Neath Port Talbot Ramblers.  Visiting Rheola Forest, the group strolled along the Roman road, Sarn Helen, before visiting the waterfall at Melincourt.  We would like to provide more midweek walks so if you are a Ramblers member who would like to lead a walk for us, do email or phone the programme secretary.  Details are on the contact page of our web site.



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.
