An exciting project is well underway in the stunning Tywi Valley with the former railway track between Carmarthen and Llandeilo being brought back to life as a major leisure and visitor attraction.
Providing a 16.7 miles traffic free path through one of the most scenic areas of Wales, it will follow an almost adjacent route to that of the River Tywi as it flows from Llandeilo to Carmarthen, through stunning scenery which takes in castles, country parks and historical estates as well as attractions including the National Botanic Gardens of Wales and Aberglasney Gardens.
Work on the Tywi Valley Path has reached an exciting new stage, with two brand-new sections between Llanarthne and Cilsan now open.
Further progress is expected in November, with the route from Ffairfach, Llandeilo to Llanarthne set to be completed, giving local communities and visitors the chance to explore one of the most scenic stretches of the valley.
The path set to be fully completed in the New Year and progress so far includes completion of the first section between Abergwili and Nantgaredig which officially opened in April. The installation of two new bridges spanning the River Tywi and the River Cothi also marked a significant step forward in creating this flagship route.
