Saturday's Walk - Clyne and Mumbles Hill

Hi all,

This Saturday Andy leads us on a walk that is very local to Swansea, but surprisingly interesting and scenic at the same time.
Many of us are very familiar with Swansea but we tend to travel along the same old roads and walk the same streets. This walk will show you Swansea and Mumbles from a new, more elevated and altogether more rural perspective. Take it away Andy...

Clyne Gardens and Mumbles Hill

Hi Everyone!

Here are details of the walk this Saturday (1st December)

Difficulty – Easy

Distance – 7 miles (was going to be 5miles but I decided to add a bit!)

Dogs – This walk is suitable for dogs.

Meeting Points:

9.30am at County Hall car park (East) or

9.50am at the Clyne Gardens Car Park (next to the Woodman Pub)

Description of Walk:

This walk is ideal for beginners as it is mostly on good footpaths, there are no hard climbs and there are loads of good pubs along the way!! ( what do you expect from a walk I am leading!!)
Although this walk is easy, if the weather has been bad the paths are likely to be muddy.

I like this walk, for very little effort you are rewarded with some excellent coastal views, and the fact that the walk is never far from civilisation means that there is ample opportunity to stop for a quick drink or food etc.

Points of interest:

The Story Telling tree in Clyne Gardens, Lee Trundle’s House, Pet cemetery, Oystermouth Castle, remains of World War Two air defences, graves from Mumbles life boat disaster, woodland scenery, open parkland, excellent views of the coast & for those of you who fancy it a chance to buy ice cream at Verdi’s!!

Hope to see you Saturday!!

Thanks Andy, looks like a nice walk with a good opportunity for a pub visit. Talking of which, don't forget it's the club's regular pub night at the Brunswick on Thursday (29th).

If you're driving to County Hall car park on Saturday, remember that you don't have to pay if you're just going to be waiting for a few minutes. Just tell the guy on the gate you're with the walking club, you're just here to meet up with people, and he'll let you in.

Cheers

Doug
