Official Guide: Wales Coast Path: Pembrokeshire
One of seven Official Guides to the Wales Coast Path
The 186 mile/300km long Pembrokeshire section of the Wales Coast Path runs through some of Wales’ most varied and dramatic coastal scenery — high, rugged cliffs and long sandy bays, Pembroke Castle, St David’s cathedral and St Govan’s remote cliff-wrapped chapel, with several large offshore islands. Pembrokeshire is also Britain’s only coastal National Park.
This Official Guide splits the route into 14 convenient day sections, each of about 10-17 miles / 16-27 kilometres. It contains everything local and long-distance walkers need to enjoy the path and includes:
An overview of Pembrokeshire with dedicated history and wildlife sections
Fourteen day-walk sections with detailed route descriptions and full, enhanced Ordnance Survey mapping
Distance charts, section overviews, background information and interpretation of places of interest
Stunning professional photographs throughout
Information on accommodation, public transport, local information, weather, and tidal links.
