Swansea Ramblers


Lliw Reservoirs

A 6-mile Saturday walk

10th August 2024

Leader: Mike Clarke




Swansea Ramblers braved the wet conditions to enjoy a great walk from Felindre.   We walked to the Lower Reservoir and headed north to have lunch at the Upper Reservoir.

The rain stopped and we enjoyed a dry(ish) walk back to the Lower Reservoir.   The sun came out when we stopped there.   Some of us then had ice-creams before the return walk back to Felindre.

After the walk we enjoyed our post-walk social outside the Shepherds pub in the sunshine.   



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.

So we set off in the rain, hopeful the forecast for drier weather was right!
