A beautiful morning walk along the Llanelli Coast

This walk was filmed on 2nd November 2021 along the Llanelli Coastline in Wales.

Hello and thank you for joining our early morning walk. Because we are in Wales the bracketed text is the Welsh translations of the place name. Today we are walking the Carmarthenshire coastline (Arfordir Sir Gaerfyrddin) along the Loughor Estuary (Aber Loughor) in Llanelli, south Wales (De Cymru). The Market Town of Llanelli is about a 1 hour 30 minute train journey from Wale’s capital city - Cardiff (Caerdydd) and around a four hour train trip from England’s (Lloegr’s) capital city - London (Llundain). This morning it is 8:30 am, we are walking about 600 metres, which takes around 12 minutes. Today I have parked at the Millennium Quay Car Park (Maes Parcio Cei’r Mileniwm), there are good walks in either direction from here along the shoreline. From there you can walk the Millennium Coastal Park (Parc Arfordir Milenwm), it has good wide accessible open paths. I have cycled and ran out that way and been most fortunate to enjoy some glorious sunsets. I love visiting Wales (De Cymru) and am pleased to be back. This morning there is a beautiful sky overhead, the sun rising in the east and there are grey moody clouds over the estuary. There is a gentle breeze on my face and I greatly appreciate breathing in the fresh crisp air. I am grateful you can join me along on this walk, I hope you find it relaxing and that it brings some peace in to your day. As we walk the Loughor Estuary (Aber Loughor) is to our right. The estuary flows from the River Loughor (Afon Llwchwr) the source of the river starts in an underground lake under the Black Mountain (Y Mynydd Du) - a mountain range in Wales (De Cymru). The river meets the sea at the beginning of the estuary near the town of Loughor (Casllwchwr) about a 12 km walk from here. In the 18th century the salmon and trout from the River Loughor were fished and taken to nearby Swansea Market, the fish would have been packaged up and taken on a 12 km pony or horse ride to be sold there. Sadly in the 19th century the fish population died away, due to pollution and industrialisation. Today the estuary is still used as a natural resource. Cockle gathering brings in valuable trade to villages along the shoreline. Anyone can gather a bucket of cockles for their own personal use, commercial fishing is limited to small numbers to keep it sustainable. If you do ever wander out on to the estuary at low tide make sure you are with someone and / or someone knows where you are. The local area has a rich and interesting history. In 1987 military documentation was downgraded from ‘Secret’ to ‘Restricted’. It explained that during World War II an anthrax bomb was dropped over the salt marshes of the estuary as part of biological weapons test. These days if people are out spotting flying objects in the sky they are most likely birdwatching. During our walk today we can hear some of the birds that visit the estuary, such as oystercatchers and curlews. The estuary is a SSSI - a Site of Special Scientific Interest, due to the unique flora and fauna here. There is lots to explore and I hope one day to visit the Whiteford Lighthouse on the other side of the estuary. An unusual lighthouse made in cast-iron and built in 1865. Thank you for joining the walk. I have great affection for Wales and it is lovely to be able to share some of it’s beautiful scenery. I hope you found some of the information interesting also.
