Swansea residents urged to hit the trail for new year fun

People across Swansea are being encouraged to hit the trail to enjoy their local area.

The council’s new Try Our Trails campaign offers a range of entertaining low-cost healthy local journeys of discovery.

Cabinet member Robert Francis-Davies said: “There’s a wide range of inspirational trails waiting to be explored. They can be enjoyed at low cost and at a time that suits individuals, couples and families.”

An initial range of trails is showcased on the website enjoyswanseabay.com. A number of ideas are described there.

The public can share photos and comments from their own adventures on the trails by posting them on social media with the hashtag #TryOurTrails.

The trails range from an urban cultural excursion around the city’s museums and art venues to a countryside trek in natural scenery.

One adventure is the city centre cultural trail. This takes in a range of arts-related locations including the Glynn Vivian, Swansea Museum, the Dylan Thomas Exhibition and the National Waterfront Museum. All those four sites are free entry.
