Swansea Ramblers Walk


Parkmill and Southgate
An evening 4-mile walk

28th July 2022

Leader: Alison Broady




Swansea Ramblers enjoy short walks on a summer evening.  They are a great way to unwind after work or just meet up with friends if you are retired.

Alison led a lovely walk from Parkmill which went through woodland to ascend to the open grassland of th egolf course.  We followed the path to Pennard Castle where we stopped to admire the view over Three Cliffs Bay.  We continued along the path on the edge of the golf course to reach 'Sandy Lane' and descend back to Parkmill.

After the walk we enjoyed refreshments in the beer garden, making the most of the summer evening.



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!
