Swansea Ramblers


West Cross to Rotherslade

A 5-mile Saturday walk

31st January 2026

Leader: Dave Stephens




Swansea Ramblers defied the weather forecast and were rewarded not with rain but a totally dry walk!

We set off from West Cross and made our way to Underhill Park then to Rotherslade.

We had a Tea stop in Rotherslade before walking the coast path to Bracelet Bay.

We had lunch at Bracelet then made our way to the promenade.

The sun shone for the last mile or so and it was warm.

We stopped at the West Cross Inn before returning the short distance to the cars.

Another lovely 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.
