NATIONAL TRAIL – Amroth to St Dogmaels

The scenic long-distance walk from Amroth to St Dogmaels is 180 miles long and takes about 2 weeks to walk, with soaring rugged cliffs, tranquil inlets and broad sandy beaches.

Seasons
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path can be walked throughout the year. Accommodation may be more scarce in the winter months, but avoid high summer as it will be even more difficult to find. Highlights include spring flowers and countless seabirds breeding on cliffs and islands. Summer days on beaches exploring rock pools can be idyllic, while autumn brings woodland colours and pupping seals. Winters are generally mild, but rain and coastal storms can be ferocious.Centres
Amroth, Saundersfoot, Tenby, Pembroke, Milford Haven, Solva, St David's, Fishguard, Newport and St Dogmaels.Difficulty
35,000 feet of ascent in 180 miles over 14 days is a challenge requiring reasonable fitness and thoughtful planning and preparation. However, nothing is overly demanding with common sense and basic navigation being the main skills required.Must See
With few large towns and little industry, Pembrokeshire's coast is largely unspoiled, leaving much of it feeling wild and remote. The walk brings a succession of expansive strands, spectacular cliffs and secluded bays, with traces in the landscape telling the story of past settlement and industry.ISBN
