DELVE INTO A MAGNIFICENT COASTLINE
Discovering somewhere new each day
Self guided walking holiday
The Pembrokeshire coast path is one of the world’s most well known long distance walking routes, and one of Britain’s National Trails.
The path in its entirety follows 186 miles of wild and rugged coastline along the westernmost peninsula of Wales. Our self guided eco walking holiday include what is thought of as the most spectacular section of the path from St Dogmael’s in the north down to the tiny cathedral city of St David’s in the far west. You’ll explore a variety of inspirational landscapes from steep coastal cliffs, undulating rocky coves and sandy bays, to volcanic headlands and flooded glacial valleys. You’ll see some of Wales’ rich historical heritage such as ancient drowned forests, neolithic burial chambers, tradiitional working harbours, the oldest working woolen mill in Wales and the jewel in the crown of the magnificent 12th centruy St David’s cathedral. Pembrokeshire is famous for its rich wildlife and you’ll see seals, sea birds and beautiful wild flowers as you journey each day.
On our walking holiday you stay at our 5 star eco lodge and enjoy hospitality provided by our welcoming local lodge team, and access your walking route each day using the local buses or walk straight out of the lodge door and down to the coastal trail. We have designed both longer and shorter days out walking so you have full flexibility for your choice of how far you walk each day.
For walking groups we can provde daily minibus shuttles to the start and finish of your walking route.
