Swansea Ramblers Walk


Oystermouth and West Cross

12th July 2021

Leader: Sarah Goodall




Sarah took us on an evening walk from West Cross to Oystermouth via Washinghouse Brook.  We were given a tour of some of the graves of notable past residents of Swansea.  It was nice to enjoy after work, another of our weekly evening walks that run throughout each summer.



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.
