Overview


Walk Summary – The first section of The Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers perhaps the greatest variety of the whole trail. From the rounded hills, pastoral wooded bays and sheltered coastal resorts at Tenby and Saundersfoot through to the wild and remote Limestone Stacks, Caves and blow holes at Stackpole Head and Castlemartin.

There are also sections of long sands, inland lakes and coastal mudflats. Finishing on an optional two day circle of the mighty Milford Haven estuary - which for Lord Nelson was “the greatest natural harbour in the world” but today is home to the infamous Pembrokeshire Refineries.
