Pembrokeshire Coast Path Walking Holidays

Nearing 200 miles long, innumerable folds and inlets hold hidden bays and wild rocky coves that await discovery, only found on foot.

Out in the invigorating sea air, a diverse ecosystem of coastal flora and fauna thrive. Seals, dolphins and unusual species of seabird inhabit the wild stretches of seaboard that define the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.

You'll cross paths with fishing harbours like Little Haven and Porthgain along your route through colourful medieval harbour towns, Tenby, Fishguard and St. David’s (Britain’s smallest city), with its wonderful 12th century cathedral. A day or more left for sightseeing puts you in good stead to visit the 6th century monastery founded by Wales’ patron saint, as well as the imposing Norman coastal castles at Manorbier and Pembroke.

Over 25 years ago, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path became Celtic Trails’ first self-guided walking holiday. We've offered a high standard of walking holidays in Pembrokeshire ever since and with family born and raised here, our local knowledge is second to none.

This is a coastal walk in the truest sense, with minimal sections inland, across a route that is typically made up of clifftop walks and long expanses of beach, sand dunes and rugged shoreline. Where the route occasionally diverts inland walkers can expect woodland tracks, heathland, surfaced paths and even a section over the disused Saundersfoot railway line (complete with tunnel).

In terms of difficulty, the route can be quite strenuous along the clifftop sections as you follow a route that undulates underfoot - interspersed with several ascents and descents along the way. This is not typical of the route as a whole, and there are many sections which are flat and gentle in nature. Some of the clifftop walks do offer fantastic views along the path, but walkers with a head for heights will find the experience less unnerving.
