Llandovery to Llanwrtyd
A station-to-station walkCarmarthenshireWales
Recommended: The hills and valleys are beautiful. A long, remote walk through beautiful Welsh hill country, largely on the Heart of Wales Trail, with great river sections, rolling-countryside views and some boggy sections and stiles. There is a particularly steep, long climb into Crychan Forest if starting at Llandovery and country lanes with hardly any traffic. Uses the Heart of Wales Trail, which runs alongside the Heart of Wales rail line, so trains link the two towns and the walk can be shortened at Cynghordy station. Passes the Cwmcuttan (Cynghordy) Viaduct.
Cynghordy Viaduct: Imposing 18-arch curved railway viaduct near Cynghordy, one of the most striking structures on the line.
Warnings: The route crosses the railway line at several points; stop and listen before crossing. Some boggy sections and stiles.
