The nature around the area was breathtaking; Beautiful walk through rolling countryside. A peaceful walk along quiet country lanes and mulchy green lanes (holloways) through rolling countryside, descending into remote valley bottoms, crossing brooks and climbing back up. A little more bumpy than expected; lanes are quiet of traffic and not too wet or muddy and with boggy fields avoided. Reached via the Heart of Wales line. Rich in wildlife, with sightings of owls, deer, foxes and a toad. Carreg Cennen Castle is worth a visit or detour. Llandeilo has cafes, craft shops and a bakery.

Time: 3h30–7h
