Broad Haven to St Davids 18-23.4km 5.5-7 hours

This morning you have a taxi transfer the short journey to Broad Haven on the coast. You shall have fantastic views over the various beaches and the pretty fishing harbour at Solva before reaching the tiny city of St Davids.

St David’s – St David’s 16.5km 5 hours

Today you can have various choices. Our walk will take you around the St David’s Peninsular with the views of the bird sanctuary Ramsey Island. For the adventurous you can take a rest day and head out to the nearby docks for an inflatable speed boat ride to Ramsey Island. When the tides are incoming a small section of the sea becomes very dangerous with whirlpools. If the engine cuts out here then it is time to pray. Then you will continue to circle the island with the expert guide telling you about the sea-lions, seals and abundance of birdlife which use the Island’s cliffs for nesting. When back to St David’s you must view the ancient Cathedral. Overnight St David’s

Porthgain is a pretty harbour village. You catch the publc bus back to St Davids.

Porthgain / Tregwynt – Stumble Head – Fishgaurd 14.5-21.5km 4.5-6 hours

First you catch the public bus to either Porthgain or Tregwynt a further distance along the coastal north. Here the cliffs get a little more dramatic. Look out for the various types of birdlife nesting in the cliffs. Now you will have long, breath taking views north along much of the Pembrokeshire coastline. Shortly you will arrive at Stumble Head lighthouse. Now it is an automatically operated, but you can imagine not long ago that the lighthouse keeper used to live and work the lights.

After leaving the lighthouse you walk north and shortly see the town of Fishguard your overnight destination.

Today your walk leaves Fishguard in a northerly direction, first you walk down to Lower Fishguard and within a few hundred metres you walk on to the coastal way.

Newport – Cardigan 12.5 km to 20.7km 3.5-6 hours

After breakfast you board the local bus – the Poppit Rocket – to the start of your walk in Newport. This section of the coastal way some say is one of the toughest, you have the chance to exit the coastal path at Molygrove and catch the Poppit Rocket back to Fishguard, or you can continue the full length of the walk. The area around Cardigan Bay is famous for the dolphins which can often be found basking in the harbour and bay region. Overnight in Fishguard/Goodwick
