Overview

The Wales Air Ambulance Charity has brought this event to Swansea to promote health and wellbeing. 

Promoted by local businesses, it is a series of 32 castles designed by different artists.

Continuing from the earlier walk this morning, the second part of the walk will be a 5-mile linear walk starting from Castle 17 at the Arena and finishing at Castle 32 on Mumbles Pier. 

This is an easy flat walk along the bay and some of Swansea’s parks but decent walking shoes will be necessary.
