The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path National Trail is a 181 mile walk from Amroth, near Tenby to St Dogmaels, north of Newport.

When the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was designated in 1952, one of the park authority’s first acts was to look at the possibility of establishing a long-distance coast path.

You might be amazed to discover the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is much longer than the Offas Dyke Path, which runs the full length of Wales.

The route in this guidebook is divided into 15 clear sections of between 7 and 19 miles. There is immense variety in both the scenery and natural life of the Pembrokeshire coast and its exploration can be equally satisfying for serious walkers and those more inclined to potter.

At any time of the year there is much to see as the continuing cycle of nature successively reveals its different moods and aspects. This guide is designed to assist in the planning of a long-distance walk as well as to provide a companion to point out some of the interesting features along the way. The contorted nature of the coast creates many sections that can conveniently be walked on a day basis, and a separate chapter suggests some possibilities.

The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path provides an almost unique association of natural beauty, habitat, variety and mood, which is readily accessible to lovers of the countryside throughout the year. The county's complex geology and the effects of erosion have combined to create a coastal strip of outstanding scenic attraction.

The coastline's favourable association with the relatively warm waters of the Gulf Stream has created a multiplicity of rich and varied habitats promoting an immense range of plant and animal life.
