Swansea Ramblers


Llansamlet and Talycopa

A 2-mile Thursday Evening Walk

3rd April 2025

Leader: Clive Rees




Swansea Ramblers began their season of evening walks with a 2-mile walk in the Llansamlet area.

It had been a fine sunny day but we then had a shower before the walk.

This didn't deter three new walkers who came along to try out walking with Swansea Ramblers.

We had another lovely walk in the countryside between Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.

The evening was finished off with a laugh and a drink in the nearby Bowen's Arms.   



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.
