Swansea Ramblers Walk


Llanmadoc and Cwm Ivy

4th December 2021

Leader: Dave Stephens




Dave took us for a walk from Cwm Ivy Car park on a cold, windy day.  We descended to the National Trust forestry and walked out to the bird hide on the foreshore.  We then followed the beach for some time to return to the edge of the forest near Cwm Ivy Tor.  Afterwards we enjoyed a hot cup of coffee in the community cafe in the village.



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.
