Millennium Coastal Path Marshes

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A cycle path leads amongst tall grass, sand and salt marshes here, overlooking the sea. The landscapes attract a huge array of birds. The marshes are just up the coast from the National Wetlands Centre.

Look out for sand on the path and be prepared to push at times. The wind dumps sand across the marshes.

Llanelli's wetland centre is a vast area of ponds, marshes and enclosures. There's plenty of amazing birdwatching to be had here, from native herons to Caribbean flamingoes calling the centre home.

The Millennium Coastal Path cycle and hiking route goes past the centre and it's easy to visit. There's a charge to enter and you can find out more at: wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/llanelli

A great ride along Cycle Route 4 on some fine gravel over the dykes and through the flat fields.

Severn Bridge Cycleway

Highlight • Bridge

You’ll be cycling along the side of the motorway but because it’s just below, you feel well separated from the traffic. There's also a cycle lane on the other side of the motorway, so you can mix it up!
