Swansea Ramblers

A 4-mile evening walk at Llansamlet

7th May 2024

Leader: Clive Rees




Swansea Ramblers had another of our short evening walks to enjoy the longer daylight hours.

We walked from Llansamlet Railway Station along the Active Travel Path to the border of Neath Port Talbot.   We walked around the perineter of the old quarry and made our way to Summer House Hill for the 360 degree view of the area.   We had a lovely sunny evening for the walk then went for refreshments to The Bowens Arms.   



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.
