Full Description
Walk the dramatic cliffs, sandy coves, and hidden bays of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail, one of Wales' most iconic long-distance walks. Stretching 290km (180 miles), with over 10,500m of ascent, from Amroth near Tenby to St Dogmaels by Cardigan, the trail showcases breathtaking coastal scenery, wildlife-rich reserves, historic harbours, and medieval towns, with a sense of journey from south to north along Pembrokeshire's rugged shoreline.
Suitable for walkers of most abilities, the route typically takes around two weeks to complete.
