Long distance routes in South Wales

South Wales is home to large sections of three long distance routes, each of which can be enjoyed in bitesize chunks. They are all open to walkers, and some sections are open to cyclists and horse riders. The 870 mile long Wales Coast Path follows the nation’s coastline from Chester in the north to Chepstow in the south. The South Wales section is full of variety, taking in city landscapes, villages, stunning coastline and estuary views. There are several National Nature Reserves and miles of Heritage Coast along the stretch from Chepstow to Swansea and Gower. © Visit Wales © Visit
