Although there is nothing dramatic about this walk into town - around 4 miles, or 7 to 8 there and back - it is one of my favourite walks, taking you along quiet paths over stiles and streams and through a series of small deciduous woods. It's generally well signposted.

Begin on the Llangadog road, past the Bethania chapel on your left. Follow the road up and then briefly down the hill, until you come to a track by a postbox (signposted from the other side of the road). Head up the track, then straight on a narrow path past the gate (watch out for stinging nettles), over a pair of stiles into a field. Turn half right through the field, then walk beside the fence to your right, crossing two stiles, the second leading into a wood. Continue through the wood, dropping down at the signpost to a dirt road. Turn half right and cross over the stile into the field just ahead of you. Drop straight down the hill towards the left-hand corner of the field, where you'll find a footbridge. Cross the footbridge (take care - it's rotten in places) and head half-left up the bank and over a stile. Turn left on the track, then immediately right towards Pantygaseg farm. The path goes through the farmyard, dropping down to a stile below the gate.

Go through the field, parallel to the hedgerow on your left, crossing a stile and continuing with the hedgerow on your right. At the next stile you enter a small wood. Continue in the same direction through the wood (ignore the path heading up), and then over the stile into a field. Turn briefly half left and then straight along the path, which will soon bear to the left. Cross the stile and go through the signposted gate opposite, following the arrows around the edge of the field, through two more gates and turn right on the track. Follow the track downhill until you meet a path heading sharp right.

Take this path, which goes downhill at the signpost, into the wood. You'll cross the stile and a stream before climbing uphill. The path will bear round to the left: carry straight on (ignoring a path going off to the right) until you cross a stile. Bear half left up the bank, then left on the path. After around 50 metres look for a kissing gate off to your left, then follow the arrows through two more kissing gates. At the third gate, head straight on, keeping the same contour line through the field - with views of Llandovery and the Towy valley below - dropping down when you near the trees at the end. Look for a stile (not immediately obvious), then follow the path down the hill until you see an arrow directing you onto a path to your right. You'll cross two more stiles and go past the farm before coming out onto the road. Turn left and walk over the bridge. From here you can either take the footpath signposted immediately after the bridge (leading to Llandovery castle), or continue on, turning left on the main road into town.

There are a number of cafes and pubs in Llandovery.

You can either go back the way you came, or: try this alternative route back to Myddfai.

Go back the way you came, over the bridge but continuing along the road until you reach a crossroads. Turn right, heading up the hill until you see a signpost through a pair of large metal gates. This takes you past the house and into Llynywormwood. Continue up the path for around half a mile, crossing through a pair of gates, then straight on until you pass Round Lodge. Look out for a stile back into the wood on your right, then follow the path down, bearing right when you meet the dirt road. Follow this through the wood, continuing on through the gate, until you meet a stile on your left. This then takes you down to the footbridge and back the way you came.
