Swansea Ramblers Walk


Clydach and Swansea Canal

14th December 2013

Leader: Mike Clarke




Mike knows the hidden paths above Clydach which give us fine views over the Swansea Valley.  We set off from Coed Gwylim Park and followed the Swansea Canal before ascending above Clydach to discover the higher paths.  When we returned to the start we explored the community centre with its history of the area.



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.
