The cliff-top path (a national trail), high above the crashing waves of the Atlantic, is fringed in spring with bluebells and pink sea-thrift. Grey seals bask on the tidal rocks below the cliffs. Almost entirely within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the walk starts on the slopes of the Preseli Hills (source of the Stonehenge ‘bluestones’) and ends at the village of St Davids which huddles up to its Romanesque cathedral and Bishop’s Palace. Along the way are steep, rocky summits, sandy beaches and deep, wooded valleys; tiny harbours, quaint pubs and Welsh-speaking villages; you may find Celtic crosses, prehistoric dolmens (megalithic tombs), and even (if you are lucky) an original inscription in the mysterious Ogham script. The Pembrokeshire coast has been proposed as a World Heritage Site.
Our accommodations in Pembrokeshire have received especial praise from previous customers on account of the beautiful settings, the warm welcome offered, and the historic character of many of the buildings.

Comments
The best aspect was the wonderful landscape and the exactly prepared descriptions of the trip.
Mrs A Bleichert
Every accommodation was good, especially [at Newport (Pembs) and at St David’s] … [We also liked the] very good descriptions of the path…beautiful routes…luggage transport.
Ms E Krusemann and Mr H Pless
Just wanted you to know that we had an outstanding time in Pembrokeshire… The weather was more than we could have hoped for. We never needed our raingear, just enough sun to get terrific hiker’s tans and enough cloudy time [to] make it very comfortable to scramble up and down hills for six to seven hours a day. … Every place we stayed was terrific and the people were friendly and helpful. I have run out of superlatives. We would be happy to act as references for anyone else who is interested. Thanks for your help!
