  • Riding on Beaches and Estuaries
    ADVICE ON Riding on Beaches and Estuaries 2 There are a number of beaches around England, Wales and Ireland that allow riding and BHS Approved centres that offer the opportunity to ride on a beach. There are many health benefits of riding on a sandy beach for horse and rider. Long sandy stretches are good for building up fitness levels and often the sand can encourage muscle tone and strength. It can provide outstanding views of the sea and is a refreshing way to see areas of beauty throughout the coasts of England, Wales and Ireland. Beach riding can be a wonderful experience for both you and your horse if you are aware of a few points of legality and safety, so please read all the guidance in this leaflet. Estuaries are where rivers meet the sea and they are unpredictable places, requiring caution and respect for the variety of conditions underfoot, the special ecology and the potential risks in riding there. While large expanses of open ground look inviting to riders, some of the conditions encountered may be dangerous. However, with due care and knowledge, estuaries can provide excellent riding opportunities. Is riding on the beach permitted? Check that riding on the beach is permitted. It may be limited to certain times, days or areas and there may be bylaws. Restrictions on time will often be to riders’ benefit, being at quieter periods such as early morning and late evening when there may be fewer other users to avoid. If there are areas where riding is not permitted, be sure you are clear about their extent and avoid them carefully; their boundaries may not be obvious even if they are above high water because signs and fences tend not to last long on the shore or may not be permitted.

    17th Programme – Swansea Ramblers We offer short & long walks all year around and welcome new walkers to try a walk with us. 1 Front Cover Photograph: Table Mountain with view of Sugar Loaf v14 2 Swansea Ramblers’ membership benefits & events We have lots of walks and other events during the year so we thought you may like to see at a glance the sort of things you can do as a member of Swansea Ramblers: Programme of walks: We have long, medium & short walks to suit most tastes. The summer programme runs from April to September and the winter programme covers October to March. The programme is emailed & posted to members. Should you require an additional programme, this can be printed by going to our website. Evening walks: These are about 2-3 miles and we normally provide these in the summer. Monday Short walks: We also provide occasional 2-3 mile daytime walks as an introduction to walking, usually on a Monday. Saturday walks: We have a Saturday walk every week that is no more than 6 miles in length and these are a great way to begin exploring the countryside. Occasionally, in addition to the shorter walk, we may also provide a longer walk. Sunday walks: These alternate every other week between longer, harder walking for the more experienced walker and a medium walk which offers the next step up from the Saturday walks. Weekday walks: These take place on different days and can vary in length. Most are published in advance but we also have extra weekday walks at short notice.

  • Note on CEC Walking Weekend in Gower Peninsular 7Th/8Th June 2019
    Note on CEC Walking Weekend in Gower Peninsular 7th/8th June 2019 On Friday evening we met Geoff Haden at the Dragon Hotel for a guided walk led by Stephen K. Jones. The route included places of engineering interest, taking in: - Brunel’s South Wales Railway, the docks and the site of the Swansea & Neath line opening bridge over the River Tawe, plaqued by ICE Wales Cymru, and the site of Weavers Mill. It passed many places that Dylan Thomas mentions in his radio broadcast Return Journey, when he returned after the war to see the destruction of the whole of the centre of Swansea. Key places - Swansea Castle which looks down on the area of Swansea rebuilt after the war. Wind Street - once the commercial area but now clubs and bars. Halfway down on right is the No Sign Bar - a Dylan haunt. We went down Princess Way passing the Cross Keys - claimed to be the oldest pub in Wales but bombed during war so not much original remains. Opposite is St Mary's Church also bombed in the war. Swansea Museum, which Dylan said was “...a museum that should be in a museum...". The Exchange Buildings where in the mid-1800s the world price of copper was set. Opposite is the Queens Hotel - another surviving pub in the Georgian part of Swansea. Ahead was the Pumphouse and Dylan Thomas Square on the right. In the square is the Dylan Thomas Theatre where Dylan was once a member, a Mumbles Railway exhibition (the oldest passenger railway in the world) and the Maritime Museum housed partly in the engine sheds of Victoria Station.

Golyga ei ddaeareg fod ynddo amrywiaeth ysblennydd o olygfeydd o fewn ardal gymharol fechan, o olygfeydd carreg galch Pen Pyrrod, Three Cliffs Bay ac Oxwich Bay yng nglannau’r de i halwyndiroedd a thwyni tywod y gogledd. Mae trumiau tywodfaen yn nodweddu asgwrn cefn y penrhyn, gan gynnwys y man uchaf, Cefn Bryn: a cheir yno diroedd comin eang. Canlyniad y golygfeydd eithriadol a’r traethau tywodlyd, euraidd wrth droed y clogwyni yw bod yr ardal yn denu ymwelwyr yn eu miloedd. Gall y priffyrdd fod yn brysur, wrth i bobl heidio at y traethau mwyaf golygfaol. Mae pwysau twristiaeth wedi newid y cymeriad diwylliannol. Dyma’r AHNE gyntaf a ddynodwyd yn y Deyrnas Unedig ym 1956, ac y mae’r glannau wedi’u dynodi’n Arfordir Treftadaeth, hefyd. www.naturalresources.wales NLCA39 Gower - Page 1 of 11 Erys yr ardal yn un wledig iawn.

Yn rhai mannau mae’r hen batrymau caeau lleiniog yn parhau, gyda thirwedd “Vile” Rhosili yn oroesiad eithriadol. Ar lannau mwy agored y gorllewin, ac ar dir uwch, mae traddodiad cloddiau pridd a charreg yn parhau, sy’n nodweddiadol o ardaloedd lle bo coed yn brin. Nodwedd hynod yw’r gyfres o ddyffrynnoedd bychain, serth, sy’n aml yn goediog, sydd â’u nentydd yn aberu ar hyd glannau’r de.

Introduction Overview As part of the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013, the law which aims to make it easier for people to walk and cycle in Wales, local authorities are required to map their existing routes and illustrate where improvements and new routes can be added as part of the Integrated Network Map (INM) stage. The purpose of the consultation exercises summarised in this report are to help identify where the public would like improvements to be made and new routes added, giving them the opportunity to voice their opinions and get involved in shaping the City and County of Swansea (CCoS) future active travel provision. To develop an understanding of the walking and cycling behaviours of the residents throughout Swansea, and to convey their opinion on the existing routes, extensive consultation exercises were undertaken, including: ? Community engagement events in Swansea, Clydach and Gorseinon in June and July 2017; ? An online survey that was live from midday Friday June 16th 2017 and Friday 8th September 2017, a total of 12 weeks; and ? Secondary school consultation exercises and two primary school workshops with Sustrans in July 2017. Report Outline This report sets out a complete overview of the consultation and stakeholder engagement on the INM stage of the Active Travel Act (Wales) 2013.
