The north Pembrokeshire section of the trail from St Dogmael's to St Davids is the wildest and most ruggedly beautiful stretch of the coast path. Along the way the trail passes the historic little town of Newport and its Norman castle; the picturesque old harbour of Lower Fishguard; the pretty little fishing villages of Porthgain and Abercastle; Carreg Sampson, one of the finest cromlechs in Pembrokeshire; the golden sands of Whitesands Bay, where legend relates St Patrick set sail for Ireland; the little harbour of Porthclais, where St David was baptised; the ruined chapel of St Non's and the delightful little city of St Davids with its glorious medieval cathedral and Bishop's Palace. From St Davids, the southern stretch of the coast path follows the wide sweep of St Brides Bay with its beautiful beaches, and then continues round the Marloes and Dale Peninsulas to the busy port of Milford Haven, one of the largest natural harbours in the world. Highlights of the trail include Marloes Sands with its multi-coloured cliffs; the attractive fishing villages of Solva, Little Haven, Marloes and Dale and the impressive Victorian fort at Dale Haven.

This
magnificent trail follows the coastline of the Pembrokeshire National
Park through some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Britain.
For much of the time the path keeps to the clifftops, providing superb
views of the cliffs, beaches and offshore stacks and islands with their
abundant birdlife. Each turn in the path reveals something different –
a little harbour, an attractive village, a Neolithic cromlech, Bronze
Age standing stones, Iron Age promontory forts, a church or chapel of
the Celtic saints and their followers or a castle built by Norman invaders.
