Kidwelly to Llanelli (Carmarthenshire)
1 hour direct from Kilgetty.
A walk following the Sustrans cycle route and with a 2.5km section on a quiet single-track country road just outside Kidwelly (passing places and a grass verge for most of it). Path quality improves greatly from Pembrey Country Park onwards; considered a good all-season route. Follows the Sustrans cycle route. Passes Pembrey Country Park.

Warnings: The single-track country road outside Kidwelly may carry cars and farm traffic.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Kidwelly to Pembrey and Burry Port (Carmarthenshire)
1 hour direct from Kilgetty.
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.
Time: 2h30–5h
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a quarter of the walk. 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.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Reverse direction: Railwalks.
Pembrey and Burry Port to Llanelli (Carmarthenshire)

Well-signed and shared with cyclists. Follows the Wales Coast Path and National Cycle Network route 4. Plenty of picnic spots.
Coastal: nine tenths along the coast.
Time: 2h30–4h30
Lunch: Cafes at Burry Port harbour and Llanelli beach.
