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).

Coastal: three fifths along the coast.

Time: 5h–10h

Warnings: The single-track country road outside Kidwelly may carry cars and farm traffic.

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.

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.

Coastal: nine tenths along the coast.

Time: 2h30–4h30

Lunch: Cafes at Burry Port harbour and Llanelli beach.

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.

Time: 3h30–7h

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a fifth of the walk. 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.
