Our Walks

People say the best way to get to know someone is to walk a mile in their shoes. And that applies equally to getting to know Neath Port Talbot too.

Neath Port Talbot is best explored on foot. So, park the car, put on your walking boots and take your time getting to know the landscapes and the people who make this area what it is. You will find a friendly welcome wherever you go.

Valleys carved by rivers, open hills with far reaching views, rushing waterfalls, peaceful canals, golden stretches of coast all sit close together.

To help you find the right walk, you can use the filters below. You can search by location, or tailor your choices by difficulty, distance or the amount of time you want to spend outdoors. Each walk includes its own map, and the map on this page will show you where every route is located, making it easy to plan your day out.

All of our routes are gathered in one place. Browse the map, choose a trail and select it to see the full details.
