Swansea Ramblers Walk


North Dock Llanelli

A 5-mile evening walk

22nd August 2023

Leader: Jane Fisher




Swansea Ramblers had an evening walk at North Dock in Llanelli.   We walked from Machynys to the dock then along the coast path to Sandy Park.   The sun began to set and we saw a sunset over the estuary.   We followed the coast path back to Machynys and the start.

After the walk we went back to The Sandpiper 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.
