Swansea Ramblers Walk


Talycopa

A 4-mile Evening walk

4th August 2022

Leader: Clive Rees




Swansea Ramblers led another of our evening walks.  We went to Llansamlet and had a walk in the Talycopa Area.  We had lots of views from the high ground.  At Summerhouse Hill, we could see for 360 degrees.  We had views over Crymlyn Fen, the coast and the University campus, Kilvey Hill and Swansea Valley.

The weather was sunny and we enjoyed walking in the countryside where a lot of people wouldn't think there was countryside at all.



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.
