Milford Haven Station to Haverfordwest Station (Pembrokeshire)
7m direct from Johnston.
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)
45m direct from Johnston.
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.
