Swansea Ramblers Walk


Felinfoel

A 3.5-mile walk around the Swiss Valley Reservoir

18th May 2023

Leader: Chris Redston




Swansea Ramblers visited Llanelli for a 3-4 mile evening walk around Swiss Valley Reservoir above Felinfoel.   We had a great walk through the woods, stopping to see the reservoir then returned on the cycle path on the opposite side.

After the walk, we stopped off at the local pub for a drink in the Beer Garden.   



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.
