A walk from Bosherton to Barafundle Bay along the coast and you just appreciate what a stunning area this is and you cannot help but fall in love with it.
Gorgeous coastline topped with heather, gorse, wild flowers and granite rock cairns to climb and admire the superb sunsets. Excellent Rib rides to see the abundance of amazing wildlife around the many offshore islands including porpoise, puffins and seals. The Bug Farm is well worth a visit for adults as well as children. Will definitely be returning.
Morning woodland walk from Saundersfoot to Tenby … pretty up & down through woodland and fields with some great views. Muddy so wear boots. Lunch stop in Tenby… plenty places to eat. Afternoon walk from Tenby to Manorbier. Beautiful beach to start then round coast past stunning Shrinkle Haven to Manorbier.Great full day walking with nice stop halfway at Tenby.
Oh why do people go to Cornwall and Devon when Wales has amazing beaches, great food and friendly peopleWe have to come to the Pembroke side and found some amazing beaches and great food come and try it is worth it you will not be disappointed
I would just like to warn anybody about the coastal path between Tenby and Saundersfoot in December, particularly with coronary conditions. It has a number of serious uphill climbs, and half of the paths are muddy/slippery. It has some amazing views, of course, but be careful.
Unbelievable scenery and unspoilt coastline.Beautiful bays and beaches, one after the other.What a treasure wales has and well worth the extremely long journey from Yorkshire.It’s a bucket list visit for anyone.
