Viewpoint on Pembrey Mountain

Not marked on the 50k map, there is a viewpoint and picnic area just to the east of a public footpath on the main road along the mountain. There are benches, tables, barbecue holders and a shelter. Behind the brick barbecue holder in the background on the left is a raised ramp with railings around it. This is the viewpoint that looks from WNW to NE affording a view of the Gwendraeth Fawr valley all the way down to Kidwelly and out to sea.

Viewing area on Penbrey Mountain

A viewing area has been created with some parking space to enjoy the view from the hillside. On the day the picture was taken, RAF aircraft could be seen (and heard) training in the distance.

Bridge over the river Morlais

A small road bridge and even smaller foot bridge span the river Morlais in Trimsaran. A chapel can be seen in the distance on the road curve.

A kissing gate on St. Illtyd's Walk

Part of the St. Illtyd's walk footpath, this gate takes the walker into the nearby field. Nearby is a small chapel.

Road junction near a stream

This narrow country road followed a stream. Ordnance Survey maps implied that there is a public telephone box nearby, but I didn't see one.

Public footpath above Burry Port

The hillside above Burry Port is criss-crossed by a network of trackways. Originally, all would have been of similar status but over the years, some developed into tarmac covered roads, some into farm tracks and others, as can be seen here into footpaths.

Stile with a view

At the seeming end of an ancient thoroughfare, this stile leads into a field where the old route can be followed through the field to the coast beyond.
