The route follows the promenade for ½ mile then climbs over the landscaped railway landbridge up to the Needle Sculpture vantage point with fantastic views of the estuary and Gower and (behind you) to Sandy Water Park (where it connects to Llanelli town centre and the Swiss Valley Cycleway). The picturesque lake provides seating and lakeside places for feeding the ducks and swans and leads to the Sandpiper pub/restaurant on the opposite side.

The trail then runs for two miles passing the Festival Fields site and car park towards Pwll, with more landscape sculptures and fishing lakes ahead, passing the Pavilion Cafe, and on to the seafront to Burry Port with its harbour, picturesque marina, beach and lighthouse. It was here that Amelia Earhart landed in 1928, the first woman to fly the Atlantic, with a memorial on the east side by the lifeboat station. Here you can rest and enjoy the harbour or cross to the nearby town.
