This touring cycling route takes you along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, offering a moderately challenging ride of 21.1 miles (34.0 km) with 1055 feet (322 metres) of elevation gain. You can expect to complete it in about 2 hours and 19 minutes. The trail features spectacular coastal scenery, including the magnificent natural rock arch of the Green Bridge of Wales and the impressive limestone pillars of Stack Rocks, home to numerous seabirds. While much of the route is on mostly paved surfaces, be aware that sections within the Castlemartin Range are bridleways with a stony surface.
Before you set out, it is crucial to check access information, as the trail runs through the Ministry of Defence's Castlemartin Firing Range. Access can be restricted at certain times for military exercises, so always check the firing notice or contact the Pembroke Visitor Centre for opening times. This ensures you can plan your visit without unexpected closures. The area is generally remote and windswept, so prepare for varying weather conditions.
This route is particularly notable as one of the few sections of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path where cycling is permitted, offering a rare opportunity to explore this dramatic coastline by bike. Beyond the natural wonders, you will also encounter St. Govan's Chapel, a tiny 13th-century chapel nestled into the cliffs. Its atmospheric location is well worth the descent down a long, steep set of steps. The area's history as a firing range has inadvertently preserved its wild character and rich wildlife.
