Swansea Ramblers Walk


Clydach

A canal, river and woodland 5-mile evening walk

9th June 2022

Leader: Lucy Davies




Swansea Ramblers had another summer evening walk to enjoy the longer hours of daylight.   We met at Coedgwylim Park and walked east along the Swansea Canal towpath.   We returned to Clydach via woodland then followed the river back to the canal.   The canal then led us back to the start.

Afterwards, we went to The Miller's Arms for refreshments.   



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.
