Swansea Ramblers Walk


Lliw Reservoirs

A 7-mile walk

Around and above the reservoirs at Felindre

11th April 2023

Leaders: Alan and Eleanor Strawbridge




Swansea Ramblers once more visited Lliw Reservoirs where we enjoyed the scenery despite rain that didn't want to stop.   We walked from the lower reservoir to the higher one then above that on the hillside.   From the hillside, we could see the forest of wind turbines covering Mynydd y Gwair.

We circled around the reservoir and returned south on the other side.   We even found time for a Mad Hatter's tea party! - No! Don't ask!   Another enjoyable walk to which you would have been welcome to try.   Check on the programme when we are walking next!   



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.
