Swansea Ramblers Walk


Newton to Caswell

A 4-mile Saturday walk for

Roger's 80th Birthday

31st December 2022

Leader: Roger Brown




Swansea Ramblers celebrated Roger's 80th Birthday by joining him for a walk from Newton to Caswell.   We set off when the weather was dry but underfoot the way was muddy to start.   The rain soon started and it continued to rain gently all the time.

We had a quick visit to Caswell Bay before heading inland to the roundhouse.   Here we sat in the dry to eat our lunch then braved the worsening weather to ascend out of the valley and return to the start.   



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.
