Overview

A walk that explores the history of Swansea along the River Tawe corridor from the Morfa Copperworks area.

We’ll walk to the end of the recently restored West Pier for views over Swansea Bay then return northward on well-surfaced paths. 

(There will be some steps to ascend/descend on the way).

See photographs of one of Christine’s previous walks in this area.
