A walking holiday along the Pembrokeshire coastline from St Dogmaels in the North to Amroth in the South.
From £385 per person
This magnificent trail 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.
From £385 per person
This short break walking holiday follows the Pembrokeshire Coast Path from the old harbour of Porthgain to the golden sands at Newgale, returning each evening to enjoy the atmosphere in Britain’s smallest city, St Davids.
The walk takes in dramatic cliff tops, fine beaches and quaint fishing ports, enjoying far-reaching views throughout. The trail also visits many ancient sites dedicated to St David, the patron saint of Wales.
The wealth of history along this stretch is apparent from landmarks such as the Roman harbour wall in Porthclais and the 13th century chapel at St Non’s Bay.

Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.

We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
