Y Palais, Garnant
Llwybr seiclo yn mynd heibio i hen safle Palais de Danse sef neuadd a agorwyd yn 1923 er cynnal dawnsfeydd, cyngerddau a ffilmiau. Yn ystod y 1950au a'r 1960au roedd y lle yn boblogaidd iawn gyda phobl ifanc yr ardal fel neuadd ddawnsio. Cyn cau bu'r adeilad hefyd yn ffatri jins a gweithdy ceir. Fe'i dymchwelwyd yn 2011 ac mae safle bellach yn faes parcio a safle bicnig.
A cycle track passing the site of the former Palais de Danse, a hall which opened in 1923 as a venue for dancing, concerts and for watching films. In its heyday during the 1950s and 60s the place was very popular with young people as a dance hall. Prior to its closure the building was also used as a jeans factory and as a car workshop. Demolished in 1911 the site is today a car park and a picnic site.

Cycle track
A recently built cycle path along the first stretches of a dismantled railway branch that ran from the Amman Valley railway. Although labelled as a Sustrans route, it doesn't appear to have a route number. As a paved route, it's only a couple of hundred yards long and a logicial extension further east to Brynamman along the rail route is barred by a sign stating that there's no public right of way.

Crossing Amman Valley railway near site of Garnant station, 1994
View northward, across ex-GWR Pantyfynnon (to left) - (to right) Brynamman (West) branch, which closed to passengers 18/8/58, Garnant station having been about 200 yards to the left. The line was closed to freight officially in 1988 after closure Of Abernant Colliery, but in 1994 it was probably still in use by trains removing the vast stockpile of anthracite from Abernant. It was reopened in 2009 for bringing opencast coal from Tairgwaith and it seems that a passenger service may return under the auspices of the Swansea 9 Lines Movement. Behind is the Carmarthen Black Mountain range (Tair Carnisaf, 1,503 ft.).
