By Train
Arriving by train is the easiest and most environmentally friendly choice, so please consider this first when planning your journey.
Swansea Station is the closest largest station. Trains run direct from London Paddington in three hours and from Cardiff in under one hour. For journey times and routes please visit www.gwr.com.
Gowerton Station is also close to the festival site, and an 11 minute train from Swansea, with trains running every 20 minutes.
From Gowerton Station or Swansea Station, you can easily take a taxi to the Love Trails Site. The journey time from Swansea is approximately 35 minutes and costs around £25, so it's worth filling the seats.
By Coach
This year, we've arranged Love Trails Festival return coach transfers to and from the festival, with options from London, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, and Cardiff.
Coaches always leave from a central city location on Thursday afternoon or early evening and leave the festival site on Monday morning to the same city centre location. We price the coach tickets so it's much cheaper than travelling by train and they are the most affordable and greenest way to travel!

By Car / Campervan
If you are driving to Love Trails Festival, you will need to buy a car park pass to park at the festival site - car park pass available here https://www.lovetrailsfestival.co.uk/book-extras. Please try and fill your seats to help lower your carbon footprint. It also helps split the cost of fuel and helps others looking for a lift. You can post in our friendly Love Trails Festival Facebook Group about car sharing.
If travelling by car, please follow signs for Weobley Castle, and then the event signage put out for your direction. Arrival information will be sent out to attendees in the weeks leading up to the festival.
If buying a Car Park Pass (available here https://www.lovetrailsfestival.co.uk/book-extras) you can add the extra '£5 Carbon Balancing Donation' and our partner 'ecolibrium' will invest 100% of your donation directly into climate solutions through projects that generate clean renewable energy helping to tackle the environmental impacts of your journey. £5 is a suggested donation based on the amount of carbon emitted for a return car journey from London.
