Swansea Ramblers Walk


Clyne and Washinghouse Brook

About 4 miles

A figure of Eight Walk

8th April 2023

Leader: Andrew Morgan




Swansea Ramblers met at the top of Clyne Gardens for two walks today.   The morning walk went to Washinghouse Brook then back along the beach to Blackpill   We ascended the main path in Clyne Gardens to have lunch on the lawn at the top.

We were joined by new walkers who enjoyed seeing hidden countryside in West Cross.   We look forward to seeing them again on another 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.
