A Summer Evening Walk: Pwll to Burry Port: (A Nature Reserve and a Lighthouse)

Thursday, 11 August 2022

Start time: 18:30
(Estimated finish time: 21:15)

Moderate 4 miles / 6.4 km

Group Swansea

Join Jane as she takes us on a lovely walk from Pwll to visit the Millennium Coastal Path where nature has reclaimed this former industrial area.

N.B. Some of the paths have summer growth so long trousers and good shoes/boots are essential!

We will join the Coastal Path then explore the Ashpits Pond and Pwll Lagoon Nature Reserve.

The Nature Reserve is an important area for breeding wetland birds with as many as 131 species recorded within a 5-mile radius.

We will then follow the old tramway road which dates back to 1882 and Jane will tell us about some of its history.

Re-joining the coastal path, we continue to Burry Port Lighthouse where we will have a short break to take in the stunning views of Pembrey Harbour and Gower.

Our return journey will include a lovely stroll on Burry Port Beach.

Social after walk

Afterwards we will go for refreshments to a the Bryngwyn Pub in Pwll.
