Swansea Ramblers Walk


West Cross and the coast path

A 6-mile Saturday walk

20th January 2024

Leader: Dave Stephens




Swansea Ramblers set off from West Cross to enter Oystermouth Cemetery, en route to Rotherslade.   There was a very cold wind blowing off the coast but we stopped and had our coffee on the beach.

We followed the coast path eastward to Limeslade where finding Fortes closed for building work, we sat by the bay to have lunch.

Our return journey to West Cross followed the promenade.   The West Cross Inn was too busy to take thirsty Ramblers so we went to the Woodman instead.

Another great day out with Swansea Ramblers.   



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.
