Swansea Ramblers


Mewslade

A 6-mile Saturday walk by the coast in Gower

29th August 2026

Leader: Alison Broady




Swansea Ramblers braved the rain to meet at Mewslade for a walk on and near the coast.

When we reached Mewslade, it had stopped raining and the sun came out.

We had blue skies and a blue sea!

We walked to Rhosili where Worm's Head was bathed in sunshine.

We then headed east along the coast path, stopping for our packed lunch on the coast.

At Mewslade some more Ramblers joined us for the afternoon walk on the coast path over Thurba Head.

We returned inland through the fields to Mewslade.

Afterwards, we drove to Reynoldston where we had refreshments in The King Arthur.

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.
