Swansea Ramblers


Blackmill

A 6-mile Saturday Walk
For Cakes and Coffee

27th July 2024

Leader: Paul Williams




Swansea Ramblers went to Blackmill, north of Bridgend for a walk with fine views.   We ascended the hillside and made our way over to the ancient Church of Llangeinor.   Here the parishioners had prepared Tea and Coffee for our lunch stop and had made lots of delicious cakes.

We then descended from the high level common into the Ogmore Valley and back to Blackmill.   After the walk, we went into the 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.

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.
