Overview

Description: We will explore urban Swansea from the viewpoint of the parks and the beach.

This will be an easy walk with some ascent through the streets to visit:

In the morning:

  • The Promenade
  • The Vetch Field Park
  • The new bridge near the Leisure Centre
  • The new park above the Arena
  • The beach to the slip

In the afternoon

  • The beach to Brynmill Lane
  • Singleton Park
  • Brynmill Park
  • Victoria Park

Come along with both Christines and enjoy an interesting walk that will take us through Swansea’s green parks.

If anybody wishes to do just half the walk, we will be passing near to the start point as we walk west from the new Arena Park to Brynmill Lane.

 

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to the Bay View Hotel.
