Swansea Ramblers Walk


Graig Fawr & St Illtud's Walk

29th October 2017

Leader: Karen Gibbs




Swansea Ramblers visited Pontarddulais to ascend the hills to the north from where there are extensive views over the Loughor Estuary to North Gower.  We also stopped at Maggie's Twr, said to be built by a husband out of love for his wife!  We then passed by the site of the mining disaster of 1849.



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.
