Swansea Ramblers Walk


Southgate Circular

A 5-mile Saturday walk in the rain

16th March 2024

Leader: Dave Stephens




Swansea Ramblers brave all weathers to enjoy the countryside.   Despite the forecast for rain, 28 of us turned up at Pennard for a lovely walk.

We dropped down into Parkmill, following the recently improved path on the hillside.   We then went up to Pennard Castle where we stopped for tea.   Our lunch stop was on the beach at Pobbles.

After the walk, some of us went to the Beaufort in Kittle.   



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.
