Swansea Ramblers Walk


Felinfoel: Swiss Valley Reservoir

25th October 2021

Leader: Chris Worth




Swansea Ramblers braved the rain forecast to go on a short four-mile Monday walk in Felinfoel.  We were rewarded with unexpected sunshine and dry weather.  We had a lovely walk around the reservoir and watched the water cascading down the overflow.



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.
