Swansea Ramblers Walk


Penclawdd to Penygaer Hill Fort
A 3-mile Monday walk

17th October 2022

Leaders: Pam & Les Lewis




Swansea Ramblers had another of their Monday short walks that new walkers may like to try out.   We started at the playing fields at Penclawdd and ascended to Mount Hermon Chapel where the views along the estuary could be seen.   We continued to ascend the hill above Penclawdd for even better views and crossed the site of the old Penygaer Hill fort.

We then descended the Llanmorlais Valley with even more views.   



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.
