Llanelli Walking Festival

Discover the industrial heritage of an iron making community immortalised by Alexander Cordell’s famous novel, ‘Rape of the Fair Country’. Follow a spectacular trail along the former tramways, inclines and footpaths while enjoying the memorable landscape of this World Heritage Site, including the Punchbowl, Blorenge Mountain and the memorial to Foxhunter. Our walk will end at the ‘Blaenavon Ironworks’, the site of the cottages featured in the BBC programme ‘Coal House’. There will be an additional charge,
payable on the day.

Our day will start with a visit to Big Pit National Coal Museum, with an opportunity to go underground followed by a walk through a preserved industrial landscape and on hillsides offering outstanding views, passing Garn Lakes and the source of the Afon Lwyd on
our way. We will then complete our experience by steaming south to Blaenafon on the Heritage Railway for which there will be an
additional charge, payable on the day.

Appropriately for a Sunday we start at a church and end at a chapel! Both church and chapel look down on water but of contrasting volumes. Come and join us for this scintillating saunter of the senses through ‘unnatural’ woodland, tamed gardens, manmade waterways and wild natural coastline. Walking this gemladen route on firm, well-trodden paths is guaranteed to raise your spirits. Bring your cameras!
9 miles, moderate (Llanelli Ramblers Grade C+)

Join us as we meander along leafy paths, criss-crossing the lily ponds where butterflies, wild fowl, otters and kingfishers may be seen. Our walk will take us to Stackpole Quay from where we will wander onto the paths along the top of the spectacular grassy
limestone cliffs leading down on to the beaches of Barafundle and Broad Haven, which are considered to be two of the most beautiful
sandy beaches in Wales.

Join us on our journey along the coastline of the idyllic Burry Estuary which is steeped in history and mystery. Listen to tales of wrecks and wreckers of olden times as we stroll through harbours where we will meet Captain Jack Sparrow who will take us on an adventure in our search for hidden treasure and hidden secrets.
