Stage length: 1.9 miles Time: around 45 minutes Level of difficulty: Easy
This section is very easy to navigate, as it is a minor road (Marsh Road) that joins both churches. Part of this road is subject to flooding in part at very high tides above 8m. If this is the case, an alternative route is available by diverting left up a lane to the B 4295. You then follow a pavement all the way to Heron’s Way Llanrhidian. Walk down the hill to the church which will be on your left.
