    Tips

    Cycling

    The towpath that runs along the Swansea Canal is a gorgeous leafy stretch that makes for great access to the city from the north avoiding the roads and traffic.

    You can either walk or cycle on the towpath, which occasionally switches over the river on a series of narrow bridges.

    Do take care if you're on a bike as there's often runners, walkers, children and dogs also using the shared path.
