Swansea Ramblers enjoyed a walk in the Mumbles Area.
The rain stopped before we started and it remained dry for the rest of the walk.
We passed through Oystermouth Cemetery where John told us about the Victorian need for urban cemeteries.
Underhill Park was like a lake and one of the groundsmen was in the middle of the water trying to unblock the drain!
We made our way to the coast path and headed east.
We ascended to the cliff top path for great views along the coast then stopped for lunch at Bracelet.
John led us onto Mumbles Hill and told us about the WWII anti-aircraft batteries that used to be there.
At Tichbourne Road, John explained the notorious history behind the name.
Mumbles Ridgeway led us to Overland Road then we made our way to the castle and eventually Norton.
Finding the Beaufort Inn closed, we drove to The Woodman and sat by the open fire.
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.
