Day 1: Arrive
at Amroth/Tenby
To start your walking holiday on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path you arrive
at Amroth or Tenby. On the sea wall at Amroth there is a brass plaque
commemorating the opening of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in 1970.
The path leaves the quiet village of Amroth and passes through Wiseman's Bridge before arriving at Saundersfoot. Then the hiking trail makes its way out to Monkstone Point and you are already experiencing stunning scenery and golden beaches. You walk along the top of the cliffs as you make your way into Tenby for your overnight stay.
Caldey Island's history is steeped in Christianity, with the earliest Celtic settlement founded by a hermit, St Pyro, in the 1st century. The Benedictine Monastery became Cistercian in 1929. Take the boat from Tenby to go in search of the seals around the Lighthouse, visit the beach and the three churches.
The walking route from Tenby goes across South Beach to Giltar Point then around Lydstep Haven to Lydstep Point. There are great views past Caldey Island to Worms Head on the other side of Carmarthen Bay and south across the Bristol Channel to Lundy. Coming around the headland the 12th century Manorbier Castle comes into view.
Today's walk is one of the highlights as you pass Barafundle Bay, probably one of the most beautiful beaches along the entire Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Then you walk around Stackpole Head to see yet another beautiful beach at Broad Haven before heading for Bosherston for your overnight stay.
Not be be missed on this section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is the 13th century St Govan's Chapel which lies near the bottom of a narrow gully in the cliffs. Then the walking trail diverts inland around the Castlemartin firing range to Merrion.
Today you head back to the coast at Freshwater West with its enormous grassy dunes and magnificent beach. Walking around Angle Peninsula you pass Sheep Island, Rat Island and Thorn Island before arriving at the village of Angle.
or continue on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Purists who wish to walk the entire path can continue on to Pembroke and Milford Haven. Those wishing to avoid the oil refineries in Milford Haven we can transfer round to Herbrandston for the next section.
