We are Swansea Ramblers. Come with us and discover the pleasures of walking in the Swansea area and beyond. We look forward to seeing you on one of our walks.
Clive Scott
We will follow the coast path along East Cliff, passing Vernon Watkins memorial stone and High Pennard hill fort.
We then walk down from Pwlldu Head to Gravesend and hear of the tragic story of the wreck of The Caesar.
We shall carry on to Pwlldu Bay with its history of quarrying and smuggling. We’ll follow the coast path to Brandy Cove, (another bay associated with smuggling) and where the murdered body of Maimie Stewart was found.
Carrying on to Caswell, we’ll walk up Caswell Valley into Bishopswood where we will see the ruins of St. Peter’s medieval chapel and Well.
Returning past the recently revealed Backingstone medieval chapel, we shall walk across the valley and back to Southgate.
