Swansea Ramblers Walk


Cefn Drum

A 7-mile Thursday walk
above Pontarddulais

27th October 2022

Leaders: Chris & Christine Redston




Swansea Ramblers led another midweek walk which started in Pontarddulais.   We ascended onto Cefn Drum for wonderful views of the area.   We then descended into Cwm Dulais and walked past the site of the former Graig Merthyr Colliery   



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.
