Slow Ways linking Kidwelly and Burry Port, Carmarthen, Llanelli, Pontyberem

Kidwelly’s four Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Kidwelly
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Kidwelly’s Slow Ways.

We stopped for a very, very long time just where there's another cycle route crossing above at a right angle, which made me very happy to imagine how active travel infrastructure could be one day. There was something really special that I can't quite put my finger on about emerging at Burry Port - perhaps relief at getting there before dark, or at all, perhaps the cumulative sugar high, but I think it was the flatness of the land right by the sea, and all the people in the park, and the sky reflected in the dock with stars just coming out, and the little collection of houses seeming almost lower than sea level! Everyone in Kidwelly and Burry Port should do it, and judging by how many people we saw on a sunny half term Thursday, many people already do!...

The weather was gorgeous so I spent a bit of time looking at West Dock (Photo 1) before heading off road along the tarmac cycle route past Pembrey.

Walk this routeMay need to be careful of straying onto other peoples land but overall was a enjoyable, rural walk....
Tarah
However, our experience was hindered by having to take a detour due to new developments, which was frustrating and broke up the flow of the walk. While the route started off promising and offered a welcome escape from the busy roads, these issues unfortunately made it less enjoyable overall. We likely recommend it for dog lovers based on our experience....

While this route started off promising with a nice contrast between woodlands and public roads, we encountered some unexpected challenges....
Onismo Muhlanga
The majority of the walk takes you down quiet country roads, which made for a relaxing and enjoyable 3.5-hour stroll....

Great walk with so much stunning scenery to see along the way! Safe and accessible. Would recommend for a relaxing walk, not too strenuous either....

Route takes you from Carmarthen and through B4309 before taking you down some country roads which is the majority of the walk....
