Training in Clydach
Ropes, mats and rugby pitches.
The headline act is Dynamic Rock, Swansea's roped indoor climbing centre, in the village's former public hall with walls 12 m high and bouldering alongside. It runs belay and lead courses and a young climbers' group. Yoga Place Abertawe teaches in the old St John's Church, from gentle and yin classes to dynamic yoga, and Aurolab Yoga and Womankind Yoga add more mat time. Red Dragon Karate Club and Dragons Freestyle Kickboxing cover the fighting arts, and Vardre and Glais keep rugby going.
Outside, National Cycle Route 43 serves Clydach, and a Sustrans path follows old railway track from the Tawe, behind Vardre's ground, to Station Road in Glais. The Cwm Clydach RSPB reserve sits on the edge of the village. Bring a belay partner, or find one here.
