Swansea Ramblers


Llanrhidian to Bove Hill

1st June 2013

Leader: Terry Johns




Another Swansea Walk.  There and back again - only no Hobbits en-route just interesting snippets of history from Terry.

We visited the churchyard where Terry had been busy clearing ivy from a relative's grave then stopped to hear about the mill owner with a shady reputation.  We then saw the sites of a few other mills before visiting a heronry and climbing onto Bove Hill for stunning views.
