Walks you can reach from Clarbeston Road by train

Milford Haven Station to Haverfordwest Station (Pembrokeshire)

8m direct from Clarbeston Road.

the path alongside Hubberston Pill is a definite highlight. A varied route highly recommended for walking or wheels, much of it on a newly laid off-road national cycle path (route 4) with twists, turns and gentle gradients, plus a tarmac right of way that narrows where seasonal undergrowth and stinging nettles encroach. A long, safe verge-walking road section runs towards Steynton, the finish is on an off-road cycle path beside the wooded and tranquil Hubberston Pill. Largely follows National Cycle Network route 4. Johnston is a good mid-route refreshment stop. Pill Priory, the remains of a late-12th-century priory, stands in a private garden at the hamlet of Priory.

17km.

A right-of-way path becomes narrow with fences either side and encroaching seasonal undergrowth and stinging nettles. Care needed crossing the road on the edge of Steynton.

Lunch: A coffee stop and charity shop at Johnston; a pub seen at Tiers Cross.

Carmarthen Station to Llandeilo Station (Carmarthenshire)

30m direct from Clarbeston Road.

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.

Kidwelly Station to Pembrey and Burry Port Station (Carmarthenshire)

45m direct from Clarbeston Road.

A flat route primarily following National Cycle Network Route 4 on tarmac and compact surfaces and with quiet country lanes and a stretch on the main road out of Kidwelly. Good for accessibility and navigation but hard on the knees with so much tarmac. Follows National Cycle Network Route 4. A signposted diversion into Pembrey Country Park is available. St Mary's Church and Kidwelly Castle are worth a visit near the Kidwelly end. A resident kingfisher near the Ashburnham Hotel.

10km.

A small rise on the main road out of Kidwelly, with a narrow pavement in places; it is more than a quarter of the route before getting off the main roads.

Pembrey and Burry Port Station to Llanelli Station (Carmarthenshire)

1h direct from Clarbeston Road.

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)

1h direct from Clarbeston Road.

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.
