Swansea Ramblers Walk


Nicholaston & Oxwich

23rd November 2013

Leader: Christine Rimmer




Christine took us on another of our enjoyable Swansea Ramblers' Gower walks which started in Penmaen and passed through Nicholaston Woods then across the dunes to the Nicholaston Bridge that we built for the Wales Coast Path.

Having enjoyed lunch on the beach, we made our way back across the sands and marvelled at the sand formations left by the tide.  After the walk we headed down to The Gower Inn at Parkmill for coffee.



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.
