Swansea Ramblers Walk


Knelston to Hardings Down and Old Henllys

16th June 2010

Leader: Gail Allen




We started in Knelston but soon were trying to work out why a Double-decker London Bus was going to Kensington via Gower!  Another hot, sunny summer's day for a good walk in the countryside.  We ascended Hardings Down where we had lovely coastal views.  After the walk it was back to the Tea Rooms for refreshments.



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.
