Swansea Ramblers


Murton and Bishop's Wood

A 5-mile Saturday walk in sunshine

17th January 2026

Leader: Morag Eddyshaw




Swansea Ramblers met in Murton for a walk to Brandy Cove and Caswell.

Thirty-eight of us set off in sunshine on a lovely day which took us first along the top of Bishopston Valley then to Brandy Cove.

We followed the coast path to Caswell where we stopped for lunch.

We then walked through Bishops's Wood back to Murton.

Afterwards, we went to The Beaufort in Kittle for refreshments.

Another great day out with Swansea Ramblers.   



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.
