Swansea Ramblers


Penclawdd Circular

A 10.5-mile circular walk

22nd February 2026

Leader: Mike Clinch




Swansea Ramblers met in Penclawdd on one of the few dry days this winter.

We set off along the Active Travel Path then turned south to ascend to Three Crosses.

We then followed the Gower Way before descending to Crofty.

We again went uphill to Hermon Chapel before walking along the high ground back to Penclawdd.   



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.
