JIM MANTHORPE is a wildlife camera- man and writer, the author of the first edition of this book. He has trekked in many of the world’s mountainous regions from Patagonia to the Himalaya and Scandinavia to the Canadian Rockies. He is the author of four other Trailblazer guidebooks: Tour du Mont Blanc, Way and Scottish Highlands Hillwalking Guide and has also researched and updated numerous other Trailblazer titles. Jim has a particular love of wild places and wildlife and has filmed eagles, otters and orcas for various BBC programmes including Springwatch.

DANIEL MCCROHAN researched and wrote this 5th edition. He’s a widely pub- lished travel writer and hardened hiker who has authored more than 30 guide- books to destinations as far flung as Mongolia and Tibet. He spent most of the last decade living in China, and spe- cialises in writing about Asia, but he is from the UK and relishes every oppor- tunity he gets to explore his homeland, especially if it means another chance to go camping. This is Daniel’s second Trailblazer walking guide and he camped his way along the entire route. He was accompanied every step of the way by his extraordinary six-year-old daughter Yoyo (left), who also proved to be somewhat of a prodigy with a camera by taking the photograph for the cover of this book.

❏ MINIMUM IMPACT FOR MAXIMUM INSIGHT Nature’s peace will flow into you as the sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you and storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. John Muir (one of the world’s earliest and most influential environmentalists, born in 1838) Why is walking in wild and solitary places so satisfying? Partly it is the sheer physical pleasure: sometimes pitting one’s strength against the ele- ments and the lie of the land. The beauty and wonder of the natural world and the fresh air restore our sense of proportion and the stresses and strains of everyday life slip away. Whatever the character of the country- side, walking in it benefits us mentally and physically, inducing a sense of well-being, an enrichment of life and an enhanced awareness of what lies around us. All this the countryside gives us and the least we can do is to safe- guard it by supporting rural economies, local businesses and low-impact methods of land-management, as well as by using environmentally sensi- tive forms of transport – walking being pre-eminent. It is no surprise that, since the time of John Muir, walkers and adventurers have been concerned about the natural environment; this book seeks to continue that tradition. There is a detailed section on wildlife and conservation as well as a chapter devoted to minimum impact walking with ideas on how we can broaden that ethos. About this book

INTRODUCTION

I must go down to the sea again, for the call of the running tide, Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; ... And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying. I must go down to the sea again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; ... And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. John Masefield (1878-1967) – Sea Fever (selected lines, post-1902 version) The Pembrokeshire coast is not generally well known, yet in its obscurity it is outstanding. More and more people are discovering this magnificent coastline on the extreme western point of Wales. What better way to explore it than to pull on your boots and walk the cliff tops and beaches of this superb 186-mile (299km) route. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path begins in the seaside village of Amroth and takes you across the contorted sandstone cliffs of past the colourful houses set above Tenby Harbour

History 9 ______to lonely hills and sleepy waterways; a beau- tiful blend of sand, sea and scents.

History

It was in 1952 that the Pembrokeshire coast received National Park status. At the same time naturalist proposed a

long-distance footpath that would provide an INTRODUCTION uninterrupted walking route through the length of the park. But it was not until 1970 that the coast path was finally opened. A number of problems arose when choosing the best route for the path, particu- Above: There are several grand larly around the, quite frankly, ugly industri- Norman castles to visit along the al stretches among the power stations and oil trail, including Pembroke (see p115) refineries on either side of the Milford built in the 11th century.

For the rest of its length the path hugs the coastline where possible but inland diversions are inevitable to avoid private land, geographical obstacles and the artillery range at Castlemartin.

How difficult is the path?

This is not a technically difficult walk and most reasonably fit peo- ple should be able to tackle it without any problems. However, the distance should not be under- estimated; although it is not a mountainous path there are many steep up-and-down sections. On completion you will have ascend- ed more than the height of Everest. The southern section is tamer than the northern stretch with its mighty cliffs where the sense of exposure is more marked and the distances between villages are greater. Always be aware of the ever-present danger of the cliff edge. Accidents often happen late in the day when fatigue sets in and people lose their footing.

How difficult is the path? 11 ______limitations and plan each day accordingly. Don’t try to do too much in one day: taking it slowly allows you to relax, see a lot more and you’ll enjoy the walk without becoming exhausted.

How long do you need?

This depends on your fitness and experience. Do not try to do too much in one day if you are new to long-distance walking. Most people find that two to three weeks is enough to complete the walk and still have time to look around the vil- lages and enjoy the views along Most people find that the way. Alternatively the entire two to three weeks is enough to path can be done in 11 days or complete the walk fewer if you are fit enough. If you’re camping don’t underestimate how much a heavy pack laden with camping gear will slow you down. It is also worth bearing in mind that those who take it easy on the path tend to see a lot more than those who sweat out long days and only ever see the path in front of them. When deciding how long

On pp32-4 there are some suggested itineraries covering different walking speeds. If you have only a few days available concentrate on the best parts of the coast path; there is a list of recommended day and weekend walks on p35.

When to go INTRODUCTION SEASONS Pembrokeshire is subjected to the full force of the weather sweeping in from the Atlantic so you can expect rain and strong winds at any time of year. Equally you can be blessed with blazing sunshine; the climate is unpredictable. The main walking season in Pembrokeshire is from Easter to the end of September. Spring Walking in Pembrokeshire from March to June has many rewards, the greatest of which is the chance to appreciate the spectacular wild flowers which come into bloom at this time. Spring is also the time of year when you are most likely to have dry weather. Easter can be a busy time since it is the first major holiday of the year but at other times the path is relatively quiet. The spectacular cliffs and rock folds at (see p210). (Photo © Jim Manthorpe). Summer Unsurprisingly, summer is when every man and his dog descend on the countryside with July and August, when the heather colours the hillsides purple, being the busiest months. At this time many of the beaches are busy and parts of the coast path, too. This isn’t always a bad thing; part of the enjoyment of walking is meeting like-minded people and there are plenty of them about. However, accommodation can be hard to The secluded beach at Pwllcrochan (see p180), Right: (see p141). reached via a chain fixed to the cliff.

When to go 13 ______come by, particularly for single nights, so do book well in advance. Summer weather in west Wales is notoriously unpre- dictable. One day you can be sweating in the midday sun, the next day battling against the wind and rain. Remember to take clothes for any eventuality. Autumn

Don’t let this put you off. Although the likelihood of rain and wind increases as winter approaches, sunny days are still possible and the changing colours of the hillsides make the coastline spectacular. Winter There are some disadvantages to walking the coast path in winter: winter storms are common, the daylight hours are short and many of the places to stay are

32 Itineraries ______(cont’d from p29) To help you plan your walk see the colour maps (at the back of the book) and the table of village/town facilities on pp30-1; the latter gives a run down on the essential information you will need regarding accommoda- tion possibilities and services. The suggested itineraries in the boxes below, opposite and on p34 may also be useful; they are based on the main accommo- dation types – camping, hostels and B&Bs – with each one divided into three alternatives depending on your walking speed. They are only suggestions; adapt them to your needs. Don’t forget to add your travelling time before and after the walk. There is also a list of recommended linear day and weekend walks on p35; these cover the best stretches of the coast and those which are well served by public transport. The public transport map and table are on pp45-7.

Suggested itineraries 33 ______Once you have an idea of your approach turn to Part 4 for detailed infor- mation on accommodation, places to eat and other services in each village and town on the route, plus summaries to accompany the detailed trail maps.

WHICH DIRECTION? There are several advantages in tackling the path in a south to north direction. An important consideration is the prevailing south-westerly wind which will, more often than not, be behind you, helping rather than hindering you. On a more aesthetic note the scenery is tamer in the south, while more dra- matic and wild to the north, so there is a real sense of leaving the best until last. In addition a south to north direction allows you to get used to the walking on easier ground before confronting the more strenuous terrain further north. Some may choose to walk in the opposite direction, perhaps preferring to get the hard stuff out of the way at the beginning. The maps in Part 4 give tim- ings for both directions so the guide can easily be used back to front, or for day trips.

5 ROUTE GUIDE & MAPS

Using this guide

The trail guide and maps have not been divided into rigid daily stages since people walk at different speeds and have different interests. The route summaries describe the trail between significant places and are written as if walking the path from south to north. To enable you to plan your own itinerary practical information is presented clearly on the trail maps. This includes walking times for both directions, places to stay, camp and eat, as well as shops where you can buy supplies. Further service details are given in the text under the entry for each destination. For map profiles see the colour pages at the end of the book. For an overview of this information see itineraries on pp29-34 and the village and town facilities table on pp30-1.

TRAIL MAPS Scale and walking times [see map key p216] The trail maps are to a scale of 1:20,000 (1cm = 200m; 31/8 inches = one mile). Walking times are given along the side of each map and the arrow shows the direction to which the time refers. Black trian- gles indicate the points between which the times have been taken. See box below on walking times. The time-bars are a tool and are not there to judge your walking ability. There are so many variables that affect walking speed, from the weather conditions to how many beers you drank the previous evening. After the first hour or two of walking you will be able to see how your speed relates to the timings on the maps. Up or down? The trail is shown as a dotted line. An arrow across the trail indicates the slope; two arrows show that it is steep. Note that the arrow points towards the higher part of the trail. If, for example, you are walking

o Important note – walking times Unless otherwise specified, all times in this book refer only to the time spent walking. You will need to add 20-30% to allow for rests, photog- raphy, checking the map, drinking water etc. When planning the day’s hike count on 5-7 hours’ actual walking. pCp-5 04a_layout 1 06/02/2017 22:24 page 3

Using this guide 69 ______from A (at 80m) to B (at 200m) and the trail between the two is short and steep it would be shown thus: A— — — >> — — – B. Reversed arrow heads indi- cate a downward gradient. GPS waypoints The numbered GPS waypoints refer to the list on pp217-220. Accommodation Apart from in large towns where some selection of places has been necessary, almost every place to stay that is on or within easy reach of the trail is marked. Details of each place are given in the accompanying text. For B&B-style accommodation the number and type of rooms is given after each entry: S = single room (one single bed), T = twin room (two single beds), D = double room (one double bed, or two single beds pushed together), Tr = triple room and Qd = quad. Note that many of the triple/quad rooms have a double bed and either one/two single beds, or bunk beds – thus in a group of three or four, two people would have to share the double bed but it also means the room can be used as a double or twin. Rates quoted for B&B-style accommodation are per person (pp) based on two people sharing a room for a one-night stay; rates are usually discount- ed for longer stays. Where a single room (sgl) is available the rate for that is quoted if different from the rate per person. The rate for single occupancy (sgl occ) of a double/twin may be higher, and the per person rate for three/four sharing a triple/quad may be lower. At some places the only option is a room rate; this will be the same whether one or two people (or more if permissible) use the room. Unless specified, rates are for bed and breakfast; see pp19-20 for more information on rates. Most B&B-style accommodation options require a deposit; B&Bs often don’t accept credit/debit cards but some guesthouses and hotels do. ROUTE GUIDE AND MAPS Your room will either have en suite (bath or shower) facilities, or a private or shared bathroom, or shower room, just outside the bedroom. The text also indicates whether the premises have: wi-fi (WI-FI); if a bath () is available either as part of en suite facilities, or in a separate bathroom – for those who prefer a relaxed soak at the end of the day; if a packed lunch (Ⓛ) can be prepared, subject to prior arrangement; and if dogs ( – see also pp220-1) are welcome, again subject to prior arrangement, either in at least one room (many places have only one room suitable for dogs), or at campsites. Most places will not take more than one dog in a room. Many make an addi- tional charge (usually per night but occasionally per stay) while others may require a deposit which is refundable if the dog doesn’t make a mess. Other features Features are marked on the map when pertinent to navigation. In order to avoid cluttering the maps and making them unusable not all features have been marked each time they occur. pCp-5 04a_layout 1 06/02/2017 22:24 page 4

KILGETTY TO AMROTH MAPS 1, 1a & 1b These three miles (5km; 1-1½hrs) provide a pleasant walk to the coast and the start of the path at Amroth but if you are feeling lazy you can catch Taf Valley’s 351 bus (see pp44-7 for details). The bus drops you at Amroth Castle (see p72 and Map 1b, p73), close to the start of the coast path at New Inn. But you’re here to hike, so you may as well walk to the start of the path by following the lane to Stepaside. Take care crossing the main road, the A477. Stepaside received its quirky name thanks to who, it is said, in 1648, while marching to Pembroke, stopped here and told his men to step aside and take their victuals. Taf Valley’s 351 bus service calls here; see pp44-7. At Stepaside you should join the little lane through Pleasant Valley to Mill House Caravan Park (see opposite) where you can see the old slate mill and the iron works, both dating from the mid-19th century. A path takes you through ROUTE GUIDE AND MAPS the caravan park before you join the lane through Summerhill to Amroth. You are now on the coast path but unfortunately it officially begins at the northern end of the village, at New Inn. If you want to say you have done the whole path you will have to walk to the start and then return the way you have just come.

o The Coast Path Challenge and certificate The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority has teamed up with pubs at each end of the trail to offer a free certificate to those who have walked all 186 miles (299km) of the Coast Path, no matter how long it has taken. Visit : www.pem brokeshirecoast.org.uk/files/files/Communications/coast_path_challenge.pdf and download a form (available in English and Welsh). As you make your way along the coast, sign and date the relevant section to record your progress. Take your completed form to one of the pubs in Amroth, at the southern end of the trail, or St Dogmaels, in the north, and claim your free certificate. Alternatively, send it to the addresss on the form. If you would like an embroidered badge com- memorating your achievement as well include a cheque for £5 made payable to PCNPA. pCp-5 04a_layout 1 06/02/2017 22:24 page 6

Trefin to Pwll Deri 183 ______After a swim it’s back to the hard grind. The path climbs relentlessly uphill to gain the long ridge leading to Pwll Deri. This rugged ridge of heather and rocky bluffs provides great views of the Pembrokeshire countryside to the east but even more outstanding are the 100-metre (300ft) cliffs, covered in bracken and scrub, which plunge down into the sea. It all culminates in the wonderful circle of cliffs around Pwll Deri. If the weather’s good, it’s worth sitting down on top of the ridge to take in the view.

PWLL DERI MAP 63, p184 Directly above the cliffs at Pwll Deri is skirts the cliff tops. After a hard day’s walk, ☎ YHA Pwll Deri ( 0345-371 9536, : www sitting in the conservatory admiring the sun .yha.org.uk/hostel/pwll-deri; 2 x 2-, 2 x 4- setting over the sea is a magical experience; bed rooms all en suite, 1 x 6-/8- m/f dorm; on a clear day you can see southern Ireland. Apr-Oct). It is surely one of the most The hostel is self-catering only, has laundry impressive locations for a hostel, sitting facilities and a drying room, and charges precariously 125 metres (410ft) above the from £21.50pp for non members (private sea. It can be found just off the lane that rooms from £35).

PWLL DERI TO FISHGUARD MAPS 63-68 The coast along these 10½ miles (17km; 4¼-6hrs) is wild and in places rough going. The cliffs are less sheer and sometimes relatively low but they are rugged and hide countless rocky coves and bays. The path begins by crossing through wild country of rocky hillocks, grass and heather, passing a barren headland with fine views all around. Parts of the trail here can be boggy when the weather is bad. Just past a narrow cleft in the cliffs the path comes to the car park at Strumble Head (Map 64) where the white lighthouse, built in 1908, can be seen on the island just off the headland. There’s

also a large lookout shelter here (perfect for a rainy-day picnic), with notices ROUTE GUIDE AND MAPS giving information on the local sea life. The Strumble Shuttle bus (404; oper- ated by Richards) stops at the car park; see pp44-7 for details. The path continues through heathland and bracken to Porthsychan Bay, three miles (5km) further east, where a footpath heads inland for Fferm ☎ Tresinwen (Map 64; 01348-891621) where there is a very basic campsite (£5 for two people and a tent) without shower facilities. Alternatively follow the road inland from Strumble Head for about a mile. At Carreg Wastad Point (Map 65) make sure you take the quick detour to the top of the heathery hill to see the stone commemorating the last invasion of Britain (see box on p188). Around the bay of Aber-Felin, a great spot for seal-spotting, the path pass- es through some pretty woodland, before winding its way up and over rough hillocks with the cliffs becoming less severe, eventually tapering to gentle heathery slopes at Penanglas (Map 66). Here the path swings southwards through a number of old fields before joining the residential road, New Hill. As the road starts to descend more steeply, a zig-zagging path drops down onto Quay Rd which leads into the centre of Goodwick (see p187).
