Swansea Ramblers Walk


A Summer Evening Walk

Swansea Parks

17th August 2023

Leader: Lucy Davies




Swansea Ramblers had a 3.5 mile evening walk through four of Swansea's central parks: Cwmdonkin, Brynmill, Singleton and Victoria.

We went to the highest one first, Cwmdonkin in Uplands then descended to Brynmill and Singleton.   A few new walkers joined us and enjoyed walking with the group.

We made our way to the promenade then finished the walk by going through Victoria Park to the Guildhall where we had started.   The evening wasn't over though, as many of us went across to the Bay View Hotel for refreshments and a bit of a social.

Another lovely evening walk with Swansesa Ramblers!   



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.
