Swansea Ramblers Walk


Waunarlwydd, Hendrefoilan and Dunvant

A 4.5-mile evening walk

2nd May 2023

Leader: Peter Jones




Swansea Ramblers went on another of their evening walks.   This time we started by the Farmers in Waunarlwydd and used the newly created footpaths to ascend over the ridge to Hendrefoilan.   On the way we were treated to views across the hills, over the Loughor Estuary and even Mumbles Lighthouse!

We descended to Dunvant where we enjoyed a hidden Bluebell Wood before following countryside paths back to the start.   Afterwards, we sat outside the pub and enjoyed refreshments.   



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.
