Swansea Ramblers Walk


Dunvant, Hendrefoilan, Clyne and Killay

A 5.5-mile mid-summer's evening Walk

20th June 2023

Leader: Peter Jones




Swansea Ramblers made the most of the summer daylight by doing a longer evening walk than usual.   We started in Dunvant and walked the hidden countryside sandwiched between Waunarlwydd and Hendrefoilan.   We followed a recently registered Right of Way over from Cwmllwyd to Hendrefoilan then made our way to Clyne Country Park.   We crossed the green wedge in Killay to reach Highland Terrace and return to the start.

Afterwards, some of us went to The Dunvant Pub 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.

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.

We would have used this Right of Way but there is a Barbed Wire fence
(We could still see Mumbles in the distance)
