Swansea Ramblers Walk


Penllergaer to Llangyfelach

A 6-mile walk to celebrate Peter's birthday

1st January 2024

Leader: Peter Jones




Swansea Ramblers braved the rain yet again to enjoy a 6-mile walk to celebrate Peter's Birthday.

We started from Penllergaer Valley Woods car park and headed north across the M4 to Penllergaer Forest.   We followed forestry paths and farm tracks to join the Felindre Road.   We then turned south for Bryntywod and Llangyfelach.

The rain had come in while we ate our lunch in the churchyard.   We returned along the A48 multi-user path to the start point.

Afterwards, a few of us went to the Old Inn 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.
