Swansea Ramblers Walk


Peter Thomas Memorial Walk

9th August 2009

Leader: Lynn Smith & Breda Regan




The late Peter Thomas was the footpath officer for the Gower Society and Swansea Ramblers.  He was instrumental in setting up the Gower Way, a long distance path through the old Lordship of Gower which comprised much of Swansea and the Upper Swansea Valley.



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.
