Swansea Ramblers


Rhosili

A 4.5 mile Sunday walk

6th July 2025

Leader: Lisa Skyrme




Swansea Ramblers met on a sunny Sunday for a gentle stroll onto Rhosili Down.

The leader bought us Welsh Cakes on route then we ate them lunch time while we sat admiring the view from the old Radar Station.

Afterwards, we sat in the Beer Garden of The Worms Head Hotel, enjoying refreshments and admiring the view across Rhosili Bay.   



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.
