Overview

Leaving the village, we will make our way down to the coastal path, checking in the progress of the new development at the old Boys Village. Walking along the perimeter of the old power station seeing the progress of the dismantling of the buildings. Making our way towards the nature reserve before coming up near the Blue Anchor. Walking along the road for about 3/4mile before crossing fields to Llancadle then after lunch making our way towards Llanbethery.
