Walking Profile

A moderate walking holiday (upper end of moderate) with each day's walk averaging 18km or 11 miles with occassional steep ascents and descents with maximum daily ascent being 740m. The walk follows the wales coastal path and as such it follows rugged, natural terrain. Footpaths will include rocky or uneven ground, muddy or boggy patches and paths close to cliff edges.

Day 1: Arrival

Welcome and night at Fishguard.

Day 2: Newport - Fishguard

Take the Bus to Newport. In Newport you can take a detour to see a neolithic burial chamber before taking a seafront walk to the old lifeboat station and climbing to steep cliff tops. The headland Dinas Island is a highlight with amazing views in all directions and its charming little settlement of Cwm-yr-Eglwys, with the remains of its churchyard situated close to the beach. The curved beach of Pwll Gwylog is one of many delightful coves between Dinas and Fishguard. From an 18th century fort you descend steeply to the old port of Lower Fishguard, the setting for the 1972 film version of Under Milk Wood starring Richard Burton, before ascending to Fishguard. 19km, +705m

Day 3: Fishguard - Pwll Deri

Mostly 30 to 70m high cliffs of volcanic origin in this relatively deserted section. Excellent cliff scenery from the rocky outcrops. Heather and gorse abound, a dramatic blaze of colour in August to September. From Fishguard you will descend to a waterfront walk in the ferry port town of Goodwick. But round the headland you reach the wooded valley of Cwm Felin and Carregwastad Point, where the French landed over 200 years ago. Further on the trail reaches Strumble Head with its lighthouse and onto Pwll Deri with its wonderful viewpoint. 16km, +425m

Day 4: Pwll Deri - Trefin

From the path above the bay of Pwll Deri there's a wild and impressive stretch of cliffs to the headland of Penbwchdy, where's there's magnificent views to St David's Head, Strumble and the iron age hill fort at Garn Fawr. At Aber Bach, just before the sandy beach of Aber Mawr, you can take an inland detour to visit the working woollen mill at Melin Tregwynt. Further is the small port of Abercastle, where you can take a detour to see the burial chamber of Carreg Samson. 16km, +470m

Day 5: Trefin - Whitesands

From Trefin the Coast Path follows the fairly level coastal plateau, a little inland of the cliff nearly all the way to Porthgain, a former quarry town, now a small village and harbour. Some very high dramatic cliffs lead to steps down to the remote and secluded beach of Traeth Llyfn. An exhilarating section of the path heads around above high cliffs and beneath the craggy volcanic outcrops of Pen Beri, Carn Lleithyr and Carn Llidi. The wild and rocky peninsular of St David's Head abounds with archaeology. The section between Abereiddi and Whitesands feels wild and remote with hardly a building to be seen. Whitesands is one of the best surfing beaches in the country. Bus to St Davids. 19.5km, +540m

Day 6: Whitesands - Solva

Bus to Whitesands. A day of superb coastal scenery and slightly gentler climbs. The path takes you round the headland to St Justinians, where a new lifeboat station is being built. You'll have great views of Ramsey Island. After rounding the main headland the coast path snakes in and out giving new views each time and opening up to great views out across St Brides Bay to Skomer Island. You will pass St Non's Bay named after St David's mother and Caerfai Bay, with its sheltered sandy beach. Journeys end is at Solva, a delightful little village split into two separate areas, Upper and Lower Solva. Bus to St Davids. 21km, +740m

Option 2 for Day 6: Whitesands - St Davids

A shorter day's walking that takes you back to St Davids via St Non's Bay. More time to explore St David's, Britain's smallest city with its Cathedral and Bishop's Palace. 14.5km

Option 3 for Day 6: Boat Trip

Take your pick from the various boat trips on offer, for example, you could take a trip around Ramsey Island and see porpoises, seals and seabirds. Book in St Davids.

Day 7: Departure

Departure after breakfast.
