Pontarddulais to Ammanford
A station-to-station walkGlamorganWales
Fabulous views; You can expect some really stunning views. A challenging higher-level route following the Heart of Wales Line Trail, with a considerable climb (around 250m ascent) and a long crossing of open moorland with stunning views. Wet and boggy underfoot at the top after rain and but the climb is long rather than too steep. Follows the Heart of Wales Line Trail, well marked with its train-and-viaduct roundel. No facilities along the path between the two towns.
Hilly: a third on high ground, rising above the surrounding land.
End-of-walk reward: Both towns have shops, pubs, cafes and stations.
Warnings: The open-moorland section is not advisable in extreme weather or low visibility. Some boggy sections; navigation on the moor follows a rough track and intermittent marker posts.
