Swansea Ramblers


Hereford to Upper Breinton

A 6-mile Coach Walk

21st September 2024

Leader: Tim Gronow




Swansea Ramblers had a coach trip to Hereford.   The weather forecast was not too good.   We had heavy rain on the motorway but the rain had stopped by the time we reached Hereford.

The walk stayed dry as we walked past the Catherdral and followed the River Wye westward.   Just before Lower Breinton, we had a light shower but that cleared up and we arrived dry at the village hall in Upper Breinton.

The village had prepared soup and cakes for us which we consumed while heavy rain fell outside.

The coach couldn't come down the narrow roads so we then had to walk north for a mile and a half.   Unfortunately, the heavy shower decided to fall half-way to the coach but we started to dry off on the last push for the warm, dry coach.

Another great day out with Swansea Ramblers which wasn't spoiled by the weather.   



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?
