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.

(The afternoon may start a little later than advertised if the morning walk overruns. Ring me for an update if we have not arrived back by 1:45 p.m.).
We’ll walk through Llandeilo into Dinefwr Park, making our way through the parkland.
We may see the famous White Park Cattle and in the distance, the mansion of the Lords of Dynevor, now owned by the National Trust.
The paths through the parkland will lead us towards Castle Wood (Coed y Castell), owned by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales.
This woodland will be full of Bluebells, so bring your camera.

We’ll have a tea stop just below the ancient Dinefwr Castle. From this high vantage point, we will have great views along the Towy Valley.
We’ll descend to the abandoned old church of Llandyfeisant then ascend through more Bluebell woodland to reach Penlan Park. Here we will have great views over the town and surrounding hills.
Social after walk
Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The White Horse Inn.
