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.
Description: NOTE THE EARLIER START TIME
Join Jane as she takes us again on this lovely walk from Pwll to visit the Millennium Coastal Path where nature has reclaimed this former industrial area.
Last year, we had a magical hot summer evening and a full moon.
This year we can’t guarantee the weather but we may see the forecast ‘Blue’ Moon - so come along on this ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ experience!
N.B. Some of the paths have summer growth so long trousers and good shoes/boots are essential!
We will join the Coastal Path then explore the Ashpits Pond and Pwll Lagoon Nature Reserve.
The Nature Reserve is an important area for breeding wetland birds with as many as 131 species recorded within a 5-mile radius.
We will then follow the old tramway road which dates back to 1882 and Jane will tell us about some of its history.
Re-joining the coastal path, we continue to Burry Port Lighthouse where we will have a short break to take in the stunning views of Pembrey Harbour and Gower.
Our return journey may include a lovely stroll on Burry Port Beach.
N.B. Please bring a headtorch as the return will be at dusk to see, (if the weather is good to us), the rare ‘Blue’ Moon (which will not be Blue!)
Sunset is at 8.07 p.m.
Moonrise is at 8.38 p.m.
Social after walk: Afterwards we will go for refreshments to the Colliers Pub in Pwll.
Directions: Cross the Loughor Bridge on A484 then at second roundabout, continue on A484 through Llanelli Town Centre and head west on A484 to Pwll.
(N.B. The alternative B4304 North Dock route will be congested at this time of day)
Pass the turning for the Pavilion Café and descend the next left into Tramway Road just before the pedestrian crossing.
Pwll: Tramway Road (Allow extra travelling time in rush-hour) (Parking is alongside the football field near the Pavilion café). GPS: 51.6865, -4.2082
