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.

Time: 2h30–4h30

Lunch: Cafes at Burry Port harbour and Llanelli beach.

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.

Time: 3h30–7h

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a fifth of the walk. 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.

Reverse direction: Heart of Wales Line Travellers (PDF).

A straightforward, easy and largely urban route into the heart of Swansea and with little nature or rural scenery; the city is the main highlight at the end.

Hilly: a third on high ground, rising above the surrounding land.

Time: 2h30–5h

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a third of the walk.

Easy and largely flat, with only one unpaved section along the canal between Jersey Marine and Port Tennant. The stretch from Briton Ferry to Jersey Marine is a dull flog alongside the dual carriageway and but the wide shared cyclepath is safe; the approach into Swansea over a suspension bridge is more scenic than the road route. The canal path continues all the way under the road bridge at Giant's Grave; well waymarked and frequently used though not shown as a right of way on OS maps.

Time: 4h–7h30

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a sixth of the walk.
