Overview

Join Jane for a walk that will take us along the historic coast of Llanelli where the docks and industry have been regenerated into a place to live and visit.

We’ll walk around the lake of Sandy Park where once the steelworks provided employment for the town.  It is now a pleasant stroll to see the wildfowl on the water.

We will be able to admire views across the Loughor Estuary to North Gower and Whiteford Lighthouse.

Our return will be along the lovely beaches of North Dock and Machynys from where we may even see a sunset as it begins to sink below the horizon of the estuary.  A fabulous view when conditions are right.

Social after walk

Afterwards we will go for refreshments to the Sandpiper at Sandy Park.
