The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs the length of Wales's only coastal National Park, from St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south, passing sea stacks, blue lagoons, Iron Age forts and some of the UK's best seabird colonies. It's consistently rated among the best coastal walks in Britain.
Route map
Terrain
Steep, narrow cliff-top paths with frequent short, sharp ascents and descents at every river and stream crossing — the daily ascent adds up quickly even though the trail stays at low elevation. Generally well-maintained and clearly waymarked with the acorn symbol.
Tips
Time river-mouth crossings (like the Gann or Sandy Haven) around the tide, as some are only passable at low tide. Skomer and Skokholm boat trips for puffins need booking well ahead in season. The northern half around St Davids is the most dramatic; the southern half near Tenby is gentler and busier with families.
