About the route

All routes will remain within the boundaries of the National Botanic Gardens and will see you explore some of the natural beauty of Carmarthen, through meadows, woodlands and even waterfalls! 

Routes are on pathways, including tarmac, gravel and some dirt tracks. As this route does go though natural woodlands, there may be leaves and mud on the path - please do take care on the route.

Unfortunately, dogs are unable to join this event as the Gardens only allow dogs on specific dates. Service dogs are welcome to join however.
