Carmarthenshire

Amroth to Burry Port

Carmarthen Bay is a coastline of great contrasts and takes in a range of habitats including fresh water marshes, salt marshes, sand dunes, pine forests and coastal commons all supporting a spectacular array of flora and fauna. In places, the Coast Path heads inland around the estuaries of the Taf, Towy and Gwendraeth, passing through the county town of Carmarthen.

Carmarthen

Undulating field paths, rural tracks and mainly minor roads lead down the western side of the Towy Estuary to the quiet village of Llansteffan with its ruined castle and pretty beach. Meanwhile the eastern side of the estuary, once out of Carmarthen, explores the valleys and uplands of rural Carmarthenshire. Join the Wales Coast Path right in front of the station.

Ferryside

Get off the train here to spend a day exploring the rise and fall of these rural agricultural heartlands of Carmarthenshire. Be sure to check out the views across the Towy Estuary to Llansteffan with its beach and castle before leaving Ferryside. Join the Wales Coast Path on the road right in front of the railway station.
