Carmarthen Station to Llandeilo Station (Carmarthenshire)

45m direct from Saundersfoot.

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.

Pembrey and Burry Port Station to Llanelli Station (Carmarthenshire)

1h direct from Saundersfoot.

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.

Kidwelly Station to Pembrey and Burry Port Station (Carmarthenshire)

1h direct from Saundersfoot.

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.
