Swansea Ramblers


Two Boxing Day Walks

Bracelet to Caswell, 6 miles

Langland to Caswell, 3 miles

26th December 2024

Leader: Mike Craddock




Swansea Ramblers met in the mist of Bracelet to walk the coast to Caswell.

We ascended to the top path above Forte's Café and walked the cliff-top path to Langland.

At Langland in the mist, we saw the hardy swimmers gathered en masse for the annual Boxing Day dip.

Here we were joined by more Ramblers for just the middle 3-mile section of the walk.

We continued to Caswell where we stopped for lunch then returned to Langland via Bishops Wood and the Golf Course.

Saying goodbye to the short walk participants, we walked the coast path back to Bracelet.

Some of us then went in the Pilot Inn for our post-walk social.   



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.
