Swansea Ramblers Walk


Cwm Clydach

A 2-mile Wednesday walk

29th November 2023

Leader: Mike Clarke




Swansea Ramblers had another short weekday walk for people who for one reason or another, couldn't do a longer walk.   We walked from Cwm Clydach Bird Reserve to Clydach along the multi-user path.   We then returned north, past the cascede of the river weir, to rejoin the multi-user path to the reserve.

Some left after two miles then the rest did an extra mile upstream and back.

We had refreshments in The New Inn before leaving.   



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.
