THE walking in Carmarthenshire’ programme, run by Carmarthenshire rangers for more than 20-years is being re-heeled for it re-launch with a keen band of experienced volunteer leaders.

The friendly and knowledgeable group welcome people of all ages to join them (free of charge) to discover the Rights of Way in Carmarthenshire’s beautiful countyside on a sociable and enjoyable monthly walk.

It’s a perfect way to get more people, more active more often and they are encouraging as many people as possible to join them on their late Spring walk capturing the magic of the Towy Valley.

The county walk last about three hours and 30 minutes has been chosen, organised and will be led by Arthur Phillips, Joe Funnel and Gavin Hall. They will meet at 10.15am for a 10.30am prompt start on Friday the June 26, 2015.

They will be just outside the town of Llangadog, south, on the A4069 to Brynaman.

The walk will be a moderate grade with gradual inclines over four-and-a-half miles walk from the road bridge over the river Swadde.  They will head through Llangadog and along the river bank contours of the river Bran. Walkers will cross the Bran at Pont Glansevin and pass Plas Glansevin to Caebricks and return via lanes and footpaths to Castle Meurig and the finish.

There is plenty of parking along the roadside either side of the bridge.
