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.
Visiting the ancient castles at Amroth, Laugharne, Llansteffan, Carmarthen and Kidwelly.
Rounding the tidal channel of Afon Taff and watching the gentle waterside scenery and wildlife.
Exploring the busy, well-stocked marina at Burry Port and taking in the tranquil atmosphere and pleasant views.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
