If you are looking to walk in the countryside there are many walks on or around the coast, where the routes highlight the best of our county’s countryside. Check out our amazing walking routes, and there are guides that you can also download or print and take with you.
Perhaps the countryside is not for you, it’s not as accessible or you simply want to discover a new area. Our Swansea – Urban walks are a great place to start. From a short walk around Fendrod Lake or Penclawdd to Clyne Gardens and Singleton Park.
The Gower Coast Path in parts is now more accessible than before for pushchairs and wheelchairs due to recent upgrades, meaning that more of us can enjoy the beautiful coastline, from golden beaches and dramatic cliffs to saltmarsh and sand dunes. Home to 400 miles worth of rights of way, the choices are endless.
Which route will you to choose? Could it be Penmaen to Three Cliffs Bay, Rhosilli to Mewslade Bay or maybe Langland to Caswell. Check out the routes!
