Swansea Ramblers Walk


Waunarlwydd, Hendrefoilan and Dunvant

A 5-mile midweek walk

17th May 2023

Leader: Peter Jones




Swansea Ramblers had a Wednesday walk that began in Waunarlwydd then soon entered the hidden countryside behind the estate.   We saw lots of Bluebells as we ascended out of the valley to cross the ridge to Hendrefoilan.   We had panoramic views from the heights then made our way through Killay and Dunvant to another hidden Bluebell Wood.

Afterwards, we took refreshments in The Farmers Arms in Waunarlwydd.   



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.
