Swansea Ramblers Walk


Dunvant Brickworks
A 'Figure of Eight' walk

12th August 2010

Leader: Peter Jones




Peter led a 'Figure of Eight' walk, first to the remains of Dunvant Brickworks then returned to the start point before setting off in a different direction to explore another part of Dunvant.



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.
