Coast, hills and historic landscapes
West Wales walking ranges from Pembrokeshire coast and Preseli tracks to Carmarthenshire parkland and Ceredigion's wooded uplands. These are editorial starting points, not turn-by-turn route instructions: check current access, weather and official guidance before setting out.

Mwnt and Llangrannog offer short coastal exploration with deep local stories, while Bwlch Nant yr Arian has waymarked routes in the hills east of Aberystwyth. Treat coast and uplands as separate days and consult the relevant official source.

Coastal and upland conditions can change quickly. Use official route information, carry suitable clothing and decide whether the day needs a shorter town, garden or parkland alternative. The current What's On guide can add a nearby indoor stop.
