Tywi Valley Path so far: 

The Western section of the path between Abergwili and Nantgaredig is open to walkers, wheelchair users, and cyclists, along with two further sections open between Llanarthne and Cilsan. 

Parking areas are available adjacent to the museum grounds in Abergwili, Tafarn Y Railway, Nantgaredig (where refreshments can be purchased) and at Dryswlyn Castle. 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.

Further progress is expected later this year, with the route from Ffairfach, Llandeilo to Llanarthne set to be completed. The path set to be fully completed in the New Year, giving local communities and visitors the chance to explore one of the most scenic stretches of the valley.

It is important to note that there is no public access to the rivers at any point along the route. 

Ancillary features such as additional signage, rest areas, and interpretation boards are still under review and will be delivered as part of the wider scheme as it progresses.

The Tywi Valley Path will attract visitors from all over the UK and beyond with the potential to generate around £4.4million a year for the local economy, creating jobs in local businesses through enhanced visitor attraction and spend.

This major development has been supported by £16.7million from the UK Government, the council is now planning to work with existing and new leisure, hospitality, event organisers and accommodation providers to maximise the large potential of this facility alongside the other traffic free paths the County offers.
