Pembrokeshire Coast Path Walking Holidays

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path forms part of the 870-mile Wales Coast Path, which traces the entire Welsh coastline. While our standard Pembrokeshire itineraries are typically walked south to north, the Wales Coast Path as a whole is traditionally followed from north to south. Further information can be found on our dedicated Wales Coast Path page.

Following Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion offers similar routes across beaches albeit with more remote sections of coast, as well as tiny fishing villages and the university town of Aberystwyth. From here, follow the path onward to the Carmarthenshire - for quaint villages, coastal castles and miles of sweeping shoreline.

Britain’s smallest city, granted its status because of its cathedral, St David’s feels more like an attractive coastal village with a rich religious and cultural heritage. The 12th century cathedral and the ruins of the Bishop’s Palace form the focal point of the city and are well worth exploring.

St David’s lies slightly inland from the main path and features on the northern sections of our Pembrokeshire Coast Path itineraries. It is an excellent place to spend a rest day.

Skomer and neighbouring Skokholm are among the most important wildlife sites in Britain. In spring, the island is carpeted with bluebells and sea campion, while puffins, guillemots and Manx shearwaters gather in large numbers along the cliffs.

Boat trips depart from St Martin’s Haven, near Marloes Sands between Sandy Haven and Broad Haven, making it possible to visit the island during your walk.
