Swansea Ramblers Walk


Mumbles and Verdi's

A 3-mile Friday walk followed by Coffee and cakes

15th March 2024

Leaders: Chris Roberts & Ruth Stephens




Swansea Ramblers had an easy walk along the promenade and past Oystermouth Castle.   Twenty of us came out and braved the forecast to have a dry walk in Mumbles.

We walked along the promenade to Norton then circled around to enter the castle grounds on our way to Newton Road.   We made our way back to the promenade to return to Verdi's.

We then went into Verdi's where we had food, followed by desserts.   A few of us then popped across the road to the Pilot Inn.   



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.
