Swansea Ramblers Walk


Three Crosses

A 4-mile evening walk

10th May 2022

Leader: Mike Clinch




Swansea Ramblers make the most of the long summer evenings by putting on walks which give people a chance to get home from work then come and relax in the countryside.   Wherever possible we enjoy a social get together afterwards in a pub.

This evening, we went to Three Crosses and were led through a couple of nature reserves where we saw some Orchids and Bluebells.   



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.
