Swansea Ramblers Walk


Swiss Valley

A 4-mile evening walk

14th June 2022

Leader: Chris Redston




Swansea Ramblers had an evening walk at Felinfoel near Llanelli.   We went for a stroll around the lower Lliedi Reservoir in an area better known as Swiss Valley.   The Rugby legend, Phil Bennett had recently passed away soon after he had unveiled the statue of himself in his home village of Felinfoel.

It was a lovely sunny evening and we walked the eastern side which is less well-walked.   Aftwerwards, we went to a local hostelry 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.
