Swansea Ramblers Walk


Lower Swansea Valley

A 4.5-mile midweek walk north of Pontardawe

30th November 2022

Leader: Paul Arnold




On the 30th November 2022, Swansea Ramblers embarked on a 4.5 mile, easy terrain walk in the Lower Swansea Valley.   Skirting and traversing (via bridges) the River Tawe, the group walked part of the routes of the old rail and water transport networks of the Swansea to Bryn Amman Railway Line and the Swansea Canal.

The 18 members with guests, led by Paul Arnold, were lucky to have fine Autumn weather for the 2.5 hour circular walk.   



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.
