This charming coastal walking area offers stunning views of Carmarthen Bay, with highlights including the historic Norman Castle and St. Anthony’s Well, known for its healing waters. The route also passes through the peaceful sands of Scott’s Bay, blending scenic coastlines with quiet country lanes. Walks range from an easy 3km loop to a more challenging 7.7km trek. Paths are generally easy to follow, though some sections may be muddy, so good footwear is recommended. The walks start at Llansteffan Beach Car Park, with public transport and refreshments available.

A medium walk to St Anthony’s Well and continuing along the Wales Coast Path to Lords Park and a return via the cliff top path is approx. 5.6km (3.4 miles) long with 144m (472ft) of ascent.
