Walks you can reach from Kidwelly by train

Pembrey and Burry Port Station to Llanelli Station (Carmarthenshire)

6m direct from Kidwelly.

Gorgeous off road route along the cycle path with far reaching views. A flat, easy and almost entirely off-road coastal walk along the Millennium Coastal Path and with far-reaching views over the Gower and several spots to drop down onto the beach. Well-signed and shared with cyclists. Follows the Wales Coast Path and National Cycle Network route 4. Plenty of picnic spots.

Easy: 8km, gentle ascents.

The path is part of the Sustrans national cycle network and cyclists frequently pass at speed, so take care with dogs off the lead or small children.

Lunch: Cafes at Burry Port harbour and Llanelli beach.

End-of-walk reward: the St Elli's Bay.

Llanelli Station to Pontarddulais Station (Carmarthenshire)

15m direct from Kidwelly.

a beautiful view of the estuary. A mix of field paths, quiet country roads and housing estates, with several narrow kissing gates and some elevation gains and losses. A long stretch follows a busy main road and with sections of narrow roadside footpath and crossings. Dafen park offers an optional picnic spot.

13km. Moderate ascents.

The A4138 is busy and difficult to cross, and there is a long, unpleasant 3km roadside walk into Dafen on a narrow footpath with constant traffic; staying on the south side is safer. A 700m gap in the main-road footpath is avoided via Llangennech.

Carmarthen Station to Llandeilo Station (Carmarthenshire)

15m direct from Kidwelly.

A largely fine route but poorly waymarked throughout, with a section between Llwynfortune Farm and Glancellyn Farm that is blocked and impassable. Many gates are locked and requiring climbing over. An OS map is recommended over the app as the track deviates from footpaths in places.

Tough: 27km, steep ascents.

The section between Llwynfortune Farm and Glancellyn Farm is blocked and impassable, with the landowner forbidding access. Poor waymarking throughout; the route deviates from footpaths so an OS map is advised. Many gates are locked due to a local pylon dispute and must be climbed. Not dog-friendly. Not usable in its current state.
