Swansea Ramblers


Llandybie

A 6-mile Saturday Walk

South to Ammanford then back on Heart of Wales Trail

3rd August 2024

Leaders: Mike & Joanna Craddock




Swansea Ramblers met in Llandybie for a lovely walk in great countryside.

We headed west then south, emerging into Ammanford by the Railway Station then returned north via a section of The Heart of Wales long distance path.

The weather was hot and sunny with some overcast periods to cool us off as we made our way along lanes, minor roads and fields.

Afterwards, we went to The Ivy Bush in Llandybie 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.
