Swansea residents urged to hit the trail for new year fun

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.
