Discover the Wild Pembrokeshire Coast

Walk a breathtaking stretch of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path from Newport to Solva, tracing the rugged northern coastline via the Pencaer and St Davids peninsulas. This is a landscape of striking contrasts—towering cliffs and volcanic headlands, hidden coves and sandy beaches, all set against vast Atlantic views.

Choose from two curated five-day itineraries:

• The Unwinding Way – a gentler, easy-to-moderate option with shorter daily walks
• The Pilgrim’s Path – a more challenging route for confident walkers

With a self-guided format, you’re free to set your own pace, take rest days, or mix and match routes to suit your energy and interests.

Nature, Wildlife and Heritage

This is a walk rich in wildlife and history. Along the way, you may spot grey seals resting in secluded coves, seabirds nesting on cliff ledges, and dolphins or porpoises offshore. The route passes ancient burial chambers, historic mills and remote beaches steeped in local folklore, finishing near the iconic St Davids Cathedral.

Seasonal colour transforms the landscape throughout the year—from spring wildflowers and summer gorse to autumn bracken and berries—while rock pools and tidal inlets offer moments of quiet discovery.

Your detailed guidebook brings the journey to life with local insight, nature-spotting tips and cultural context.

Add a Touch of Adventure

For those looking to extend their trip or vary the pace, there’s plenty of opportunity to combine your walking holiday with guided adventure experiences. Take a break from the trail to try coasteering, surfing or sea kayaking along this spectacular coastline, or explore inland with paddleboarding, canoeing, rock climbing or e-mountain biking.

For a more restorative pause, unwind with a wood-fired coastal sauna session or join a yoga class or retreat. Boat trips to Pembrokeshire’s offshore islands offer another memorable way to experience the area’s wildlife and scenery. Activities are all bookable through Preseli Venture and can be easily added to your itinerary, making it simple to tailor your stay and create a longer, more varied coastal escape.
