Swansea Ramblers Walk


Gowerton to Dunvant

A 6-mile Friday Taste of Gower walk

24th November 2023

Leader: Peter Jones




Peter, one of Swansea Ramblers' leaders, led a walk on behalf of the council's 'Taste of Gower' series of walks.   We set off from Gowerton and joined the multi-user path to make our way to Dunvant.

We walked as far as the Dunvant Rugby Club.   There we had arranged to have coffee in the clubhouse.   We returned via part of 'The Gower Way' known as 'Donkey Lane.   



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.
