Swansea Ramblers


West Cross to Caswell

18th January 2025

Leader: Dave Stephens




Swansea Ramblers met in West Cross for a walk that would take us to Caswell.

We passed through Oystermouth Cemetery then Underhill Park on the way to Rotherslade and the Coast Path.

After a stop in Langland for a flask of coffee, we set off for Caswell where we ate our packed lunch.

We then explored Bishop's Wood and crossed the Golf Course to return to Langland.

We retraced our steps to Underhill Park then made our way to Norton the onto West Cross.

Afterwards, some of us went to the Woodman 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?

It won't cost you anything to come along and see if walking is for you.
