Briton Ferry to Swansea
Pontarddulais to Swansea
Time: 6h (4h30 walking, 1h30 lunch)
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a quarter of the walk.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Swansea to Neath
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: 5h30 (4h walking, 1h30 lunch)
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a sixth of the walk.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Gowerton to Swansea

Hilly: a third on high ground, rising above the surrounding land.
Time: 4h (2h30 walking, 1h30 lunch)
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a third of the walk.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
