Carmarthenshire Coast Path

The Carmarthenshire Coast Path differs from the rest of the Wales Coast Path due to its dramatically contrasting scenery, built by frequent trips inland through a gentle countryside of fields and woodlands.

While the coastal sections of the Carmarthenshire Coast Path walking holiday may seem limited, the spectacular views upon reaching them certainly do not disappoint. The many wonderful towns and villages along the way are well-stocked with a full range of facilities, with the most interesting example being Carmarthen itself, one of the oldest towns in Wales.

The undulating and changeable terrain provides plenty of interest to keep walkers engaged, and features a wonderfully diverse mixture of quiet forest paths, rugged clifftop trails and rolling green hills. A stunning walking holiday full of Welsh character.

Looking to complete the full Wales Coast Path? This itinerary links up perfectly with the Pembrokeshire Coast Path to the west and the Gower Coast Path to the east.

Customer reviews from the Carmarthenshire Coast Path

“A nice contrast with the Pembrokeshire Coast Path - for half the time, you don't really feel you're on a coastal route at all. A varied mixture of cliffs, beaches, farmland and woods.”
Mr Julyan, UK
“Another great section of the Welsh coast path - great scenery although quite a few inland sections. Another well organised holiday from Contours! I’ve already booked another holiday with you.”
Mrs Parker, UK
“Enjoyable but sometimes wet holiday. I really enjoy coastal walking.”
Mr Duthoit, UK
“It was an excellent holiday. We so appreciated your quick responses to our information requests before and after we booked, and we thoroughly enjoyed the path and timeline. We will be booking another tour again without a doubt.”
