Departure from Pennard (Swansea)
Pwlldu is a pretty little bay on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula, which stretches west of Swansea. This bay is unique in that it is only accessible on foot or by mountain bike, although the two or three dwellings (holiday lettings) are probably accessible by quad bike or a small off-road vehicle capable of negotiating a very stony track and fording a river. Whilst all the tracks and paths taken are officially signposted as footpaths, most of the forest sections are barely passable, such is the extent to which the vegetation has grown since the last local roadmender retired. It is mainly brambles and fallen trees blocking the way that hinder progress. There are indeed ‘Pwlldu’ signposts along the first three kilometres, but these too are sometimes in a dreadful state. In short, a truly wonderful experience as an introduction to the Gower Peninsula.

Difficult
Departure from Llanddeusant (Carmarthenshire)
This is a brilliant linear trail in the Brecon Beacons National Park, incorporating many good viewpoints and one extra-special one. It begins in Carmarthenshire near the village of Llandeusant and ends in Powys in the Glyntawe valley, crossing a mountain ridge that beats Pen-y-Fan in my view, but because it's less accessible is less well-known.
