Transport for Wales has teamed up with Wales' leading walking charity, Ramblers Cymru, to launch new walks from railway stations across Wales - and you can pull on your walking boots now. The aim of the scheme is to encourage residents and visitors to be more active and explore Welsh communities as well as the lesser known places using public transport.
All the walks start and finish from various railway stations across the Wales and Borders network, with maps available on the Transport for Wales website. In north Wales there are 15 routes, which includes Gwersyllt (Wrexham), Flint, Barmouth, Caergwrle, Prestatyn, Rhosneigr, Penrhyndeudraeth, Newtown, Aberystwyth, Hawarden, Llanrwst, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Pwllheli, Porthmadog and Criccieth. Linear walks could include Colwyn Bay, Bangor and Rhosneigr.
In south Wales, there are seven locations which include Merthyr to Pentrebach, Cardiff Bay, Aberdare, Heath Low Level in Cardiff and Barry Island. Additional linear walks for the south area include Llandeilo to Dinefwr Park, Trehafod to Pontypridd or Cardiff to Penarth.
