This is a 5 mile moderate walk from Burry Port up onto Pembrey mountain, a slightly different route from our longer 8 mile version.

The path goes past the monument to Amelia Earhart.

The monument takes the form of an obelisk, over 20 feet tall. topped with a weather-vane in the shape of her Fokker F7 seaplane, named 'Friendship' in which she became the first

woman to make an aerial crossing of the Atlantic in 1928, landing in Burry Port.

The walk continues on a lovely green path to a chapel and onwards and upwards to Pembrey mountain where on a good day the views are fabulous over to Gower and the Loughor

estuary, Kidwelly castle and a fine view of Ffos Las racecourse.

The descent is on a wide green path through some fields and then we rejoin the first part of the walk back to Burry Port for refreshments in the cafe there.
