Swansea Ramblers


Margam at Bluebell time

A 6-mile Tuesday walk

7th May 2024

Leader: Bob White




Swansea Ramblers had a Tuesday walk at Margam where we ascended to the Pulpit.   We saw a herd of Deer and enjoyed the views from the top.

We then crossed the valley to the hillsdie walk between Margam and Brombil.   Here we saw lots of Bluebells and stopped to have our packed lunch in the sunshine.

After the walk, we made our way to The Twelve Knights pub 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.

When you join us for a Swansea Walk, ask us about the other walks and social events we do.
