Swansea Ramblers Walk


An Evening walk

Kittle and Bishopston

16th May 2023

Leader: Andrew Morgan




Swansea Ramblers had another evening walk to enjoy the spring flowers.   We walked from Kittle to Bishopston then Murton, seeing Garlic and Bluebells on the way.   The best display of Garlic in flower was on the ascent from Barland to Kittle Egg Farm as we walked into the evening rays of sunshine before finishing at the Beaufort for 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.
