WALK. PAUSE. DISCOVER.
To walk in Pembrokeshire is to slow down, breathe deeper, and see more. From windswept cliffs to quiet woodlands and rolling inland hills, the variety of landscapes here offers something for every pace and purpose.
the coast path
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path stretches for 186 miles - but even a few short miles can feel like an adventure. Clifftop trails dip into coves and climb to panoramic headlands where sea birds wheel overhead and the Atlantic crashes far below. Try the Stackpole to Barafundle circular route, where beaches, lily ponds and old woodland meet. Or, the Abereiddi to Porthgain circular route, stopping off for lunch at either the pub or restaurant in Porthgain, and wonder at the history of the place.
into the woods
Woodland walks offer a quieter kind of wonder. Paths through places like Canaston Woods or Ty Canol Nature Reserve are alive with birdsong, wild garlic, bluebells and shifting light. National Trust’s Colby Woodland Gardens provides a wonderful circular walk to Amroth Beach. These are spaces that feel deeply rooted - ancient, still, and surprisingly rich in wildlife.
inland & upland
Away from the sea, Pembrokeshire's inland trails reveal a gentler beauty. Climb Foel Eryr in the Preseli Hills for sweeping views that stretch across the county - even to Ireland on a clear day. This is old land, scattered with standing stones and myths. Perfect for walkers who prefer open skies and open ground.
offshore islands
Take a boat trip to Skomer Island in the late Spring to see the Puffins, or later in the year to the Celtic Deep to catch a glimpse of Dolphins, Whales and the Gannets on Grassholm
