Swansea Ramblers Walk


Coach Trip to the Cotswolds

18th June 2022

Leader: Tim Gronow




Swansea Ramblers had another of their coach trips to walk further afield.   This time we went to Cheltenham where we caught the steam train to Broadway.

We walked parts of the Cotswold Way and other routes to ascend to Broadway Tower then along the Cotswold Way again to Chipping Camden.   As we arrived in Chipping Campden, the rain started again but the coach was there waiting for us.   



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.
