Swansea Ramblers Walk


Tor Clawdd

An 11-mile Sunday walk

Joint with Neath Port Talbot Ramblers

25th February 2024

Leader: Andrew Thomas
(Neath Port Talbot Ramblers)




Swansea Ramblers had a joint walk with Neath Port Talbot Ramblers.   We went for a walk beginning in Craig Cefn Parc then onto the hillside of Tor Clawdd.   We walked to Lliw Reservoir in wet and muddy conditions but thoroughly enjoyed the day out together.   



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.
