13 Aug 2023I walked from Neyland to Haverfordwest today. The first section of the walk through the woodlands overlooking the marina in Neyland meant that it is not fully suitable for those with wheels. With a few detours to get to the main dual carriage, this would be perfect for any set of wheels!
From North of Neyland the route follows the relatively newly created off road Brunel Trail. This is part of the National Cycle Network that runs from Neyland to Haverfordwest. It starts at Westland Pill managed for conservation by the Wildlife for South and West Wales and runs through to Johnston on very straight and flat tarmac paths. Unfortunately due to the mature shrubbery and trees views over the pill are fleeting.
At Johnston, the railway line is still in use for the train travelling south from Haverfordwest to Milford Haven. So the route is a bit more varied and still off road on tarmac running broadly along the railway line.
This section of the route is slightly more interesting with a bit of gradient and bends in the path to circumvent farms and other landowners land. There are a few gates to open but accessible for those on wheels and a few cattle grids that can be skirted around if needed.
As you hit the college at Merlin's Bridge you follow the town centre roads into the centre to reach your destination.
Its a fantastic route for those of wheels if you can find a detour at Neyland, but a walk can become fairly monotonous due to the lack of variety or terrain and scenery.
