TEN EASY BUS BASED WALKS TO ENJOY IN GOWER AND THE MAWR AREA IN THE CITY & COUNTY OF SWANSEA

There’s no nicer way of enjoying Gower, the Mawr or even parts of historic Swansea than on foot, with plenty of time to see all that is around you in terms of natural beauty or local history. Most of the walks suggested here are easy strolls, and will take between one and two hours between the suggested bus stops at a gentle pace. So give yourself plenty of time to look around when you arrive and to enjoy some well earned refreshment before your return bus and a relaxing ride home.

For all these walks you need strong shoes or trainers – many paths can be muddy after rain – and you should carry rainwear, a spare sweater and something to drink. A light rucksack or shoulder bag keeps your hands free – and take a camera for that pretty view or to capture that fleeting moment of passing wildlife.

Have one of the large scale Ordnance Maps with you (the orange Explorer Map of Gower is especially recommended) which will make pathfinding easy, and might even tempt you to extend your walk.
