EASTER OPENING: Final stretch of Tywi Valley Path set to welcome walkers and cyclists

Carmarthenshire County Council has confirmed the final stretch of the Tywi Valley Path — linking Carmarthen to Llandeilo — will be ready for the public within weeks.

The last section of the 13-mile route, between Abergwili and Ffairfach, marks the completion of the flagship project.

Landmark bridges complete final phase

The final phase includes two major new bridges crossing the River Tywi and River Cothi — described as a key milestone in delivering the scheme.

Once open, the route will provide a continuous, traffic-free path for walkers, cyclists and families travelling through the Tywi Valley.

Scenic route through historic heart of Wales

The path runs through some of Carmarthenshire’s most picturesque countryside, offering views of landmarks including Paxton’s Tower, Dryslwyn Castle and Dinefwr Castle.

Visitors will also be able to explore nearby attractions such as National Botanic Garden of Wales and Aberglasney Gardens, along with independent food stops and cafés along the route.

Boost for tourism and local economy

Council leaders say the completed path will help bring more visitors to the area while supporting local businesses.

Cllr Hazel Evans said the scheme was a “once in a generation project” that connects communities while showcasing the valley’s natural beauty and heritage.

Cllr Edward Thomas added that completing the bridges provides “a stunning new way to experience the county” while supporting active travel and tourism.

Years in the making

The full opening follows years of development, including major funding backing and the phased rollout of different sections of the route.

When complete, the Tywi Valley Path will stretch from Carmarthen to Llandeilo, offering a safe and accessible route for residents and visitors alike.

I’m never going to love #cycling, or even particularly like it, but bloody hell does it get me across town quickly. I can be at work inside 15 minutes, where the bus can take twice as long.

In other news, I think the #voi bikes are a bit crap, but a damn sight better than nothing.
