From £393 per person
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path follows the coastline of the Pembrokeshire National Park through some of the best scenery in Britain. The path keeps largely to the clifftops, providing superb views of cliffs, beaches, offshore stacks and islands with their abundant birdlife.
Each turn in this section of the Wales Coast Path reveals something different, such as a little harbour or an attractive village bustling with life. The coastline also boasts a wealth of history, with sites of interest including a Neolithic cromlech, Bronze Age standing stones, Iron Age promontory forts and a castle built by Norman invaders.
Looking to complete the full Wales Coast Path? This trail connects to Ceredigion Coast Path at one end and the Carmarthenshire Coast Path at the other. Our standard Pembrokeshire Coast Path tours run in the opposite direction to these other legs of the Wales Coast Path, so be sure to select the 'Reverse tour' option for Pembrokeshire if you plan to link these holidays together.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
This route can be walked in either direction - just tick the 'Reverse Tours' box when choosing your tour to see options travelling in the non-standard direction.

The north section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path begins in the tiny cathedral city of St Davids and continues along the coastline and clifftops to St Dogmaels. The trail takes in a wealth of history, wildlife and wild scenery as it meanders through a series of pretty villages and sandy beaches.
The viewpoints of St David’s Head, Strumble Head and Cemaes Head offer excellent opportunities to spot dolphins, seals and birds, coupled with amazing views across to Ireland, Cardigan Island and Ramsey Island. The geological landscaping is especially fascinating along this stretch, with plenty of interesting caves and offshore stacks to admire along the way.
This route can also be travelled in the opposite direction if preferred. Select the ‘Reverse tours’ option when choosing your itinerary.
