Pembrokeshire Coastal Path
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path National Trail twists and turns its way through 186 miles of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in Britain and is awash with wildlife, fascinating archaeological remnants of bygone times and idyllic beaches. Spending much of its time on cliff top paths, the trail will show you remarkable sights ranging from limestone structures to coastal stacks and bridges.
Appropriately enough, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail is almost entirely contained within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The walking is easy most of the way, though some sections present a more demanding challenge than others, that challenge usually being sometimes steep ascents and descents of cliff ranges. There are often alternative routes available, and there is wheelchair access available on much of the trail.
In its entirety the Coast Path represents a formidable physical challenge - its 35,000 feet of ascent and descent is said to be equivalent to climbing Everest - yet it can also be enjoyed in shorter sections, accessible to people of all ages and abilities, with the small coastal villages strung out along its length offering welcome breaks and added enjoyment.
The route is generally well served by local amenities, though some sections are quite remote. In view of this, and the fact that much of the route is quite exposed, you're advised to check weather forecasts and take suitable precautions before setting out to explore the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path National Trail. This includes sun block in summer, as well as plenty of drinking water and appropriate cold weather gear for non-summer months.
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path National Trail is split up into 12 sections, each of which is introduced below. As transport links are pretty good to and from most start & end points, it should be quite straightforward to devise a short break or day trip to best suit your needs if not tackling the entire trail. Due to the popularity of the area and the trail, you're advised to book accommodation in advance where possible.
