Swansea Ramblers Walk


Ynystawe

A 5-mile evening walk

6th June 2023

Leader: Paul Maryon




Swansea Ramblers had a lovely, easy walk in the Tawe Valley which took us along multi-user Active Travel Paths and woodland routes.   We enjoyed a gentle stroll in the sunshine, stopping for a tea break alongside the Tawe.

At the end of the walk, we sat in the beer garden of The Miller's Arms to socialise and have 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.
