Walks from Swansea

Recommended

Walk details: Railwalks.

Time: 4h30–9h

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a quarter of the walk.

Walk details: Slow Ways.

Easy and largely flat, with only one unpaved section along the canal between Jersey Marine and Port Tennant. The stretch from Briton Ferry to Jersey Marine is a dull flog alongside the dual carriageway and but the wide shared cyclepath is safe; the approach into Swansea over a suspension bridge is more scenic than the road route. The canal path continues all the way under the road bridge at Giant's Grave; well waymarked and frequently used though not shown as a right of way on OS maps.

Time: 4h–7h30

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a sixth of the walk.

Walk details: Slow Ways.

A straightforward, easy and largely urban route into the heart of Swansea and with little nature or rural scenery; the city is the main highlight at the end.

Hilly: a third on high ground, rising above the surrounding land.

Time: 2h30–5h

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a third of the walk.
