Swansea Ramblers Walk


The Enterprise Zone:

A walk taking place on Saturday 15th January 2022

More countryside than you'd imagine!

Walk route was checked on

18th November 2021

Leader: Andrew Morgan




Join Andrew on 15th January 2022 for a short walk or two in the Enterprise Zone.

We'll be splitting the walk into two, so you will have the choice to:

- Walk just the morning section or

- Walk the afternoon section or

- Come along and do both the walks for a longer exploration of the area.

Each walk will be about 3.5 miles (about 2 hours) so you have the opportunity to do both walks for a combined walk of about 7 miles.

We will explore the cycle paths, woodland, lakes and ponds in the area.  If you haven't thought about walking around the Enterprise Zone because it looks industrial or full of shops, you may be in for a surprise when you discover the countryside inbetween!

See the photos for a taste of the walk then join Andrew for a lovely walk.  See the Walks Programme page for the details of where to meet.



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.
