If you walk from Amroth to Pembroke, you will usually have the wind in the most exposed areas in your back and not in your face. The best time to visit Wales is from May to mid-September. The ideal time depends entirely on your personal preferences. In spring you can marvel at wildflowers and migratory birds. In summer you might go surfing on one of the countless beaches after a day of hiking and, with a little luck, watch baby seals in autumn.
The seaside resorts are busy in July and August when Wales is on vacation. In these months you should definitely book well in advance. Although the Pembrokeshire Coast Path can be walked all year round, you should think twice about a long-distance hike in the cold and windy winter season due to the exposed coastal location.

Overnight stops marked with a T will always require transfers as standard. Overnight stops marked with an L have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends.
We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible. The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.

More seals nest here than anywhere else in Wales from mid-summer and dolphins, porpoises and the occasional basking shark can be spotted offshore or in the waters below the sea cliffs. This is a coastal walk in the truest sense, with minimal sections inland, across a route that is typically made up of cliff top walks and long expanses of beach, sand dunes and rugged shoreline.
Where the route occasionally diverts inland walkers can expect woodland tracks, heathland, surfaced paths and even a section over the disused Saundersfoot railway line complete with tunnel. In terms of difficulty, the route can be quite strenuous along the clifftop sections as you follow a route that undulates underfoot - interspersed with several ascents and descents along the way. This is not typical of the route as a whole, and there are many sections which are flat and gentle in nature.
Some of the clifftop walks do offer fantastic views along the path, but walkers with a head for heights will find the experience less unnerving. These itineraries can also be walked North to South, please contact us for further details. You choose which day you would like your holiday to start on.
