Swansea Ramblers Walk


Southgate to Pwlldu Head

Back through Bishopston Valley

A 4-mile Monday Walk

28th February 2022

Leader: Clive Scott




Swansea Ramblers had another of their short Monday walks for people to begin walking.   We started in Southgate from the National Trust Car park then headed east along the cliffs to Pwlldu Head.   There were great views along the coast path before we turned north into Bishopston Valley.   We then ascended Hael Lane to return to Southgate.   



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.
