Connect Whitland with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Whitland to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

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 Whitland’s Slow Ways.

Along a track until it heads left to Is-Coed farm, and our path turns the other way and goes through a metal gate, footpath width, into the woods to the right. It's a lovely stretch up the hill here, to a farm called Great Pale, and then out the other side diagonally across some fields on a track with barbed wire strands on both sides but no fencing - bit unusual, but makes navigation easy! Follow the route line closely here - where it emerges onto a track you need to cross right over the track and head into the scrubby corner. Wettest over the far side where the path takes you to a gate but not through it - this gate is surrounded by liquid mud of indeterminate depth, and I had to climb along the gate and then the fence to get down to the bottom corner - if I did it again I'd walk a straighter line from the entry point to the exit point and avoid my mission impossible style clinging to gate and fence. A big tree has come down at the mouth of the next bit of track, smashing up a farm gate beneath it. Where the path through the woods rises up up up and then down down down, there's a forestry track that stays on the level that you could easily opt for instead if you're getting tired, but the one marked is nice, and there's evidence by this point of it being walked....

We ended up following the river a long way down until eventually finding a bridge across, and cutting cross country to eventually rejoin the route just east of Whitland (214 156). Made it past Trevaughan farm without any problems, but can't recommend the route at present!...

Enjoyable natural areas along the way although not much to see in Whitland but the journey is lovely. If you are looking for a memorable end point may not be the best for that but was definitely accessible and easy to navigate....
Kiani Perera
We had done a route previously like this and had dogs chasing us so we turned around and did most of the route by Google Maps....

This walk takes you through woodlands so make sure to have appropriate clothing and footwear....

Pictures and more to come, but I'd certainly recommend it!...

Here is a dilemma: the route goes across to Crinow, and along a dog leg of footpaths through fields to rejoin the road to Lampeter Velfrey. If I was going to walk this again, I'd just walk this road from the start, where it comes off the main road just south of Crinow (grid ref 127 140). Beyond Lampeter Velfrey the route joins the Landsker Borderlands Trail, for the final stretch through woodland and fields. Rejoining the road at High Street to walk down into Whitland, it's another plain but quiet road walk....
