Help connect Pontarddulais
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 Pontarddulais’s Slow Ways.

Still, we walked the route that's shown here which takes that two-sides-of-a-triangle up Gopa Hill, and although longer than the Clyne Valley route it was really nice....

You can expect it to be wet underfoot at the top if it's been raining....

The climb was pretty quick and then the route stays on the top for ages with lovely views back over the Loughor Estuary and the Gower and the sea at the far west end....

Neil Summersgill added Llapon two, a new walk from Llanelli to Pontarddulais
Walk this routeFrom Pontarddulais, the route follows the main road until Hendy. The route takes you through Llangennech to avoid a 700m of the main road without a footpath. Rejoining the A4138 at Trosserch Road, it's a long and unpleasant walk for 3km into Dafen....
Nick Blomberg
Follow the road up through Garnswllt before turning left (well marked with footpath sign) along a track/driveway and then right up a long flight of steps. When this peters out, just head slightly right and uphill for a short distance until you come to the road. The path then drops steeply off to your right, down a short, sharp hill - at the bottom of the hill, turn left onto the clear track and follow it until you get to the gate off the common. Follow the lane down, then at the end of the lane turn right onto the road into Pontarddulais itself....

Walk this routeDifficult to find the start point, poorly marked for the first half and frequently unclear how to traverse private land, as a result it's been barely used of late and is heavily overgrown in places....
