Trail Reviews
Great circular walk! In the last third of the walk (we hiked counterclockwise), between Porthsychan Beach and the lighthouse, we were able to spot seals...the view from the very top—Garn Fawr and Garn Fechan hillfort—is magnificent.
A lovely round to end our days here in Pembrokshire. At one point (sometime in the first third) we were accidentally not on the public path and ended up in the middle of a meadow, which we could only exit via a locked gate (climbing). We must have planned something in advance. Otherwise a highly recommended tour, good for hiking, beautiful views and in two bays we could even watch seals napping.
Yet another stunning coastal footpath walk, parts of this walk are a bit of a scramble but well worth it. Once again photos don't correspond as I take them with one phone whilst recording the hike with another
The escape to the south was worth it. Our first full day since we've been in Wales without rain! Moderate wind, really mild temperatures of 15 degrees and the sun even made an appearance now and then. So today's walk was almost balm for the damp soul 😉. There's not much else to tell. The pictures show the classic highlights. Finest "hiking kitsch" you could say☺️. Coastal hikes are totally my thing 😇.
