Llanelli Festival of Walks
Every Spring, ramblers from across Europe head for Carmarthenshire as the county plays host to a popular festival celebrating the great outdoors.
The Llanelli Festival of Walks is thought to be the oldest event of its kind in Wales and draws in the crowds for a three-day extravaganza of walks which range from a gentle stroll to a more gruelling challenge.
The May festival is a particular favourite among walking enthusiasts from the French town of Agen, with which Llanelli is twinned.
Festival chairman, Alwyn Williams, says the event is attracting more and more visitors to Carmarthenshire every year. “This festival has opened people’s eyes to what we have to offer here and really helped to put Carmarthenshire on the map as an excellent walking destination.”
The Llanelli Festival of Walks is held every Spring Bank Holiday Weekend and offers a range of walks over the three days. For further information, visit llanelliramblers.org.uk
