Swansea Ramblers


Graig Ola above Glais
A 4-mile evening walk

6th June 2024

Leader: Lucy Davies




Swansea Ramblers had another of their evening walks to enjoy the longer daylight hours.   We were joined by a few new walkers from Ageing Well who came along to see what our walks are like.

We walked onto the hillside on a lovely sunny evening and were rewarded with views along the Swansea Valley below us.   To the south west, we could see Llanmadoc Down and Cwm Ivy.

After the walk, most of us went into The Globe Inn 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.

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.
