Swansea Ramblers


Parkmill and Pennard

A 4-mile Thursday evening walk

23rd May 2024

Leader: Alison Broady




Swansea Ramblers had an evening walk from the Gower Inn at Parkmill.   We walked along the woodland path towards Shepherds store then ascended to the Golf Course.

We stopped by the castle to admire the view of the full tide in the valley then continued along the edge of the Golf Course to see another view over Three Cliffs Bay.   Our return was past the Golf Club and down Sandy Lane back to the start.

We then went in the Gower Inn for refreshments and a social.   



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!

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.
