Swansea Ramblers


Penwyllt
A 6-mile walk into
Ogof Fynnon Ddu National Nature Reserve

29th June 2024

Leader: Lynne Esson




Swansea Ramblers went on a 3-hour walk on the mountains above Craig y Nos.

We had expansive views of the area as we followed a gradual ascent.

We had lunch on the stone pavement formations then descended back to the start at Penwyllt Quarry.

Another great day out with Swansea Ramblers.   



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.
