Llangadog to Llandovery
Recommended: One of the prettiest Slowways I have walked. One of the prettiest routes around, sticking to the Heart of Wales Trail and using quiet country lanes through pretty little valleys, woodlands and streams. Lots of ups and downs across small hills and valleys but nothing challenging and with a few steep sections; some muddy stretches. Follows the Heart of Wales Trail; the section through Goleugoed and Llwynywormwood is particularly pretty; rich in buzzards, kites, rabbits and squirrels; good bus and (replacement) train links.
Time: 3h30–7h

Llandeilo to Llangadog
Recommended: Fantastic views from the top of the ridge; the best views across the Tywi valley. A route with lots of variety - meadows, woods, rivers and a ridge with great views - using the Heart of Wales Trail and a Beacons Way section and quiet country lanes with hardly any traffic. Gets quite remote; the section nearer Llandeilo is full of little wooded meadows. Uses the Heart of Wales Trail and a section of the Beacons Way; could be extended along the Beacons Way to Carreg Cennen Castle; good for kites and pipits; train service between Llangadog and Llandeilo.
Hilly: two fifths on high ground, rising above the surrounding land.
Time: 5h–10h
Lunch: Llandeilo has a good variety of cafes.
