Embark on a difficult touring bicycle adventure along the Fishguard to St. Davids loop, a 39.9-mile (64.1 km) route with 2542 feet (775 metres) of elevation gain. This challenging ride, taking around 4 hours and 5 minutes, immerses you in the dramatic coastal scenery of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. You will encounter towering cliffs, picturesque harbors, and glimpses of the sea, with the approach to St. Davids offering particularly fantastic views of the UK's smallest city.
This route demands very good fitness due to its hilly nature and significant elevation changes. While predominantly paved, consisting of roads, state roads, streets, and cycleways, be prepared for some unpaved segments that might require you to push your bike. The section south from Fishguard transitions from a traffic-free path to hilly country lanes, and the final part from Carmarthen to St. Davids and Fishguard follows continuously undulating minor coastal roads.
The Fishguard to St. Davids loop is part of the National Cycle Network and lies within the acclaimed Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, celebrated for one of Europe's most spectacular coastlines. The park is rich in cultural and historical heritage, featuring ancient castles and Neolithic burial chambers. Your journey culminates in St. Davids, home to a magnificent cathedral, making this a truly notable touring bicycle experience.
