Swansea Ramblers


Hendy and Troserch Wood

An 9-mile Sunday walk in Carmarthenshire

18th January 2026

Leader: Karen Gibbs




Swansea Ramblers walked through Hendy to Troserch Wood.

On the way we saw that new wooden stiles had been installed and others were soon to be replaced.

The weather stayed dry although overcast.

Troserch Wood is now run by the local community, the woodland was bought in 2006.

We followed the woodland paths and crossed the River Morlais.

Afterwards, we went to the Black Horse Inn at Pontarddulais.   



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?
