Swansea Ramblers Walk


Swansea Ramblers' Work Party
construct a new bridge
in Gowerton

14th September 2022

 




Swansea Ramblers has a work party that meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month to assist the City & County of Swansea to maintain the network of footpaths.

This month we installed a replacement footbridge as the old wooden bridge near Fairwood Terrace in Gowerton was in a dangerous condition.

All our members are welcome to take part in maintaining the footpath network, so if you are free to assist our team, please contact the coordinator to find out more information.   



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.
