Trains, buses, taxis and hire cars on the Wales Coast Path

Trains along the Wales Coast Path offer a convenient way to explore this stunning 870-mile trail. Many train stations are located close to the path, particularly along the North Wales Coast. The Cambrian Coast Railway also connects key sections of the path in Ceredigion and Cardigan Bay, letting walkers hop on and off at will. Using the train is also a great help when planning daily walks. It enhances the walking experience, too, while minimising the need for a car.

Accessing the Wales Coast Path on public transport, particularly buses, offers a convenient way for walkers and hikers to explore this scenic long-distance route. A popular trick is to catch a bus along the coast to the end of a day section and then walk back to your car or accommodation. Of particular interest are the Llyn Coastal Bus and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Buses – both designed specifically for walkers. A wider, comprehensive bus journey planner is available from Traveline Cymru.

There are plenty of friendly Taxi companies along the Welsh coast. Combining taxis with public transport gives walkers plenty of flexibility. Many taxi services also offer luggage transfer, which is a great way to enhance your walking experience while reducing fatigue.
