Pembrokeshire Coast Path

Managed by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in South West Wales, the Trail runs from St Dogmaels near Cardigan to Amroth Castle east of Tenby. The Coast Path was Wales’ first National Trail and passes some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Britain - rugged cliffs, tiny fishing villages, secluded coves and clean, open beaches...

This lengthy walk extends for some 186m/299.5km - if you decided to embark on a continuous journey, it'd take you between 10 and 15 days to complete on foot.

Walking the Path

The entire route therefore represents an impressive physical challenge to the walker, including 35,000 feet of ascent and descent!

Many people choose to tackle the walk in sections though - over a number of days or weekends. There's plenty of scope to savour a tremendous variety of shorter day walks.

People of all abilities can get something out of the Trail, with some stretches adapted for wheel chair use and others with gentle gradients and no stiles. However, only short sections of the Trail are open for horseriders and cyclists.

Accommodation

The path is well served by youth hostels, B&Bs and hotels, some of which will arrange transport to meet you - taking you back to the Trail the next day. There are also many campsites along the way, some catering for large tents and caravans, with others offering basic facilities for walkers.
