Swansea Ramblers


Gnoll Park and Cefn Morfudd

An 8-mile Sunday walk

7th June 2026

Leader: Tim Gronow




Swansea Ramblers had a lovely walk above Neath which passed through Gnoll Country Park and ascended to Cefn Morfudd.

The weather stayed dry despite the forecast of showers.

We saw the carvings in the park and enjoyed the views from the hillside.   



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.
