North Pembrokeshire Coast Path: Day 4
Distance: 12.2 km ( 7.6 miles) Newgale Sands - Cwin Bach - Porthmynawyd - Ogof y Cae - Foxgloves - Aber Dwyrain - Dinas Fawr - Gwadn Leaving Newgate Sands the initial uphill climb denotes the character of this section of the onwards coast path to Solva. Reminiscent of the rougher stonier and more strenuous section before Newgale, the path twists and turns, descending and ascending frequently. The landfall is softer on the eye, much greener, bracken and wild flowers in abunda

North Pembrokeshire Coast Path: Day 3
Distance: 5.4 km (3.4 miles) Newgale Sands - Maidenhall Point - St. Brides Bay - Nolten Haven - Madoc’s Haven - Druidstone Beach - Druidstone Hotel A popular surfing beach and accessible to dogs, this 3km stretch of stoney beach is far more accessible at a lower tide.

Passing a disused mine, Noltan Sands and its delightful cove

Approaching the coastal path from St. David’s, the remains St. Non’s Chapel named after St. David’s mother and the ‘healing well’ mark the start of this section, a

North Pembrokeshire Coast Path: Day 1
Distance: 11.7 km (7.3 miles) Maen Dewi Farm - Llysernydd - Dwr Cleifion - Trevinert - Pont Clegyr Leading out to the coastline from Maen Dewi farm just north of St. David’s takes advantage of the public footpath that extends across the countryside skirting fields, marshes, small brooks and lakes. An infrequently used path at times was lushing overgrown with tall grass and cow parsley. However new styles and wooden braced steps allowed for good going. Taking the dirt track
