Swansea Ramblers Walk


Annual Glamorgan Area Walk

10th May 2009

Leader: Maesteg Group




Every year, the Ramblers Groups in Glamorgan get together for a joint walk led in turn by one of the groups.  This time it was the turn of Maesteg Group who led us high above Maesteg through the forestry and over to the sea views above Margam Country Park.

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.
