5-Day / 4-Night Moderate

Von Ihrem Ankunftsort aus nutzen Sie die von uns bereitgestellten Informationen zu öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, um nach Pembroke zu gelangen. Obwohl bescheiden in der Größe, übertrifft dieses historische Marktstädtchen alle Erwartungen, dominiert von einer der schönsten und besterhaltenen normannischen Burgen Britanniens, dem Geburtsort von Heinrich VII. Mit einer guten Auswahl an Restaurants, Pubs und Unterkünften ist Pembroke eine komfortable und charaktervolle Basis, bevor der Weg nach Norden in die wilderen Landschaften der Pembrokeshire-Küste führt.

A transfer brings you to Broad Haven, its lovely beach tucked into the southern corner of St Brides Bay. The opening kilometres are relatively gentle as the trail winds along low clifftops and dips down to a succession of small, sheltered coves. From historic Druidstone, you pass reminders of a coal mining past before the path eventually opens out onto the sweeping expanse of Newgale Sands.

Beyond Newgale, the trail climbs more steeply before it settles onto the cliff path as it passes the headland of Dinas Fawr. The walk ends with some of its highlights: hidden beach, a rocky headland and an ancient settlement guarding the entrance to Solva. From there, the walk reveals one of the most charming harbours on the Welsh coast.

From Solva, the trail climbs back onto the cliffs and the remains of an Iron Age promontory fort. Continue along dramatic cliffs to Caerfai Bay, where a second promontory fort crowns the headland. You pass St Non’s, birthplace of St David himself, before dropping down to the sheltered little harbour of Porthclais.

Beyond Porthclais, the coastline grows wilder as the path approaches Ramsey Sound, where the churning tidal current separates the mainland from Ramsey Island, a bird sanctuary and haven for grey seals. From St Justinian, the cliffs gradually lower towards the beautiful expanse of Whitesands Bay, with its surfers, beach sauna and café. A short transfer brings you to St Davids.

Leaving St Davids past its glorious cathedral, you follow fields and lanes to the beautiful expanse of Whitesands Bay. From here the path rounds St Davids Head, passing ancient ramparts and a Neolithic dolmen perched on the ridge above the sea. Beyond the headland the coast grows wilder, climbing over the shoulder of Carn Penberry before descending to Abereiddy and its extraordinary Blue Lagoon. The final stretch follows the cliff path into the picture-perfect harbour village of Porthgain, from where a transfer brings you back to your accommodation.

There are regular bus services from St Davids to Haverfordwest, from where onward train connections are available to Cardiff and other destinations in the UK. Your hosts can usually provide the most accurate local details, but if you need additional guidance, our team is happy to help.
