Swansea Ramblers Walk


Margam Country Park

A 6-mile Saturday Walk

4th November 2023

Leader: Lucy Davies




Swansea Ramblers braved the torrential rain to drive to Margam where the rain stopped and we could see Blue sky!

The walk remained almost dry apart from a few light and short-lasting showers.   We circled through the park to reach the Pulpit from where we had views for miles.

We could see the Deer in the fields and a few ran across our path.

Stopping for coffee at the mansion, we continued our walk then made our way to The Twelve Knights pub for refreshements.

Another great day out with Swansea Ramblers.   Come along on one of our walks and find out for yourself how good it is.   



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.
