A walking holiday from St Dogmael's to St Davids along the Pembrokeshire coast.
From £550 per person
The north section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path begins in St Dogmael's and continues along the coastline and clifftops to the cathedral city of St Davids. The trail takes in a wealth of history, wildlife and wild scenery as it meanders through a series of pretty villages and sandy beaches.
The viewpoints of Cemaes Head, Stumble Head and St Davids Head in particular offer excellent opportunities to spot dolphins, seals and birds, coupled with amazing views across to Ireland, Cardigan Island and Ramsey Island. The geological landscaping is especially fascinating along this stretch, with plenty of interesting caves and off-shore stacks to admire along the way.
Admiring the dramatic, rugged geology of the coastline, including The Witches Cauldron and the Blue Lagoon in Abereiddy.
Spotting grey seals, dolphins and porpoises from the high cliff tops of Pembrokeshire, including Cemaes Head, Strumble Head and St Davids Head.
