About the trail

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path follows the coastline of the Pembrokeshire National Park through some of the best scenery in Britain. The path keeps largely to the clifftops, providing superb views of cliffs, beaches, offshore stacks and islands with their abundant birdlife.

Each turn in this section of the Wales Coast Path reveals something different, such as a little harbour or an attractive village bustling with life. The coastline also boasts a wealth of history, with sites of interest including a Neolithic cromlech, Bronze Age standing stones, Iron Age promontory forts and a castle built by Norman invaders.

Looking to complete the full Wales Coast Path? This itinerary links up perfectly with the Ceredigion Coast Path to the north and the Carmarthenshire Coast Path to the east.

Ms Ardon, Canada
“Thank you for arranging the exceptional weather it was very kind! Brilliant! This was my third and final part of the Pembrokeshire coastal path I had booked with Contours and I was genuinely sad when I got to the end of it and realised, there was no more exploring to do. Yes, I would I think this is possibly my 11th holiday with Contours so I would certainly book another.”
