This magnificent trail between the villages of St Dogmael's in the north and Amroth in the south 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.

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path begins at the village of St Dogmael 's near Cardigan. From here to the enchanting little city of St Davids , the trail passes through some of the wildest and most ruggedly beautiful parts of the National Park. Highlights of this section of the coast path include the Witches' Cauldron, a magnificent rocky bay; the historic little town of Newport with 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 little city of St Davids with its glorious medieval cathedral and Bishop's Palace.

From St Davids the trail follows the wide sweep of St Brides Bay with its beautiful beaches to the picturesque village of Little Haven with its narrow lanes cottages, old inns and tiny bay, and then continues around the Marloes and Dale Peninsulas to the busy port of Milford Haven , one of the largest natural harbours in the world. Highlights of this section of the coast path include the superb beach of Newgale Sands; the sheltered bay of Martins Haven, the embarkation point for Skomer and Skokholm islands; Marloes Sands with its multi-coloured cliffs; the little chapel at St Anns Head; the attractive fishing villages of Solva, Marloes and Dale; the gothic folly at Monk Haven; and the impressive Victorian fort at Dale Haven.

The southern section of the coast path from Milford Haven to Amroth takes in some of Pembrokeshire's most beautiful beaches such as those at Freshwater West, Broad Haven South, Barafundle Bay and Freshwater East, as well as some of its most magnificent cliff scenery, such as the spectacular limestone cliffs, stacks and arches of the Castlemartin Peninsula . Pembroke Castle, with its vast keep, which provides commanding views in all directions; the attractive village of Angle, with its historic church, Fishermen's Chapel, dovecote and medieval tower-house; the unique thatched seaweed-drying hut above Little Furzenip; the tiny, ancient chapel built into the rocks at St Govan's Head; the tiny harbour at Stackpole Quay; prehistoric remains including ron Age hill forts and Neolithic Cromlechs; the beautiful lily pools at Bosherton; the great Norman castle at Manorbier; and the ancient walled town of Tenby with its picturesque harbour are just some of the highlights.
