Heart of Wales Line Trail | Section One | Craven Arms to Broome | Using Viewranger

This is a new walking trail that utilises the beautiful single-track railway route that runs from Shrewsbury all the way down to Swansea. The trail officially starts at Craven Arms and is 144 miles long to Llanelli in South Wales.
See the Heart of Wales Line website here for up to date timetables: www.heart-of-w...
Today myself and Dave Outdoors started on the first of a multi day route called the Heart of Wales Line Trail. We walked section one which is 8 kilometres from Craven Arms railway Station to Broome Railway station. (We did it in reverse to fit in with the timetables.)
We intend to tackle the whole route over the course of the year and will make these videos as we go to hopefully encourage others to do the same.
Please visit the Heart of Wales Line Trail website for more information. www.heart-of-w...
They also have a facebook group for the trail which you can join: / heartofwaleslinetrail
There you can download the GPX files for your navigation device. My preferred method is to use an app called Viewranger which you can download onto your phone and the route is also available on there.
