Hike the Coastal Path in Pembrokeshire
It is less than likely you have been to Pembrokeshire unless you live in Wales, and pretty certainly if you are a tourist visiting the United Kingdom you have never even been to Wales unless of course you are a rugby follower.
Logically then this article about walking on the west coast of Wales may seem to you, something you are as likely to do as you are to walk on the moon.
That would be a mistake, because if you enjoy a good hike then the coastal path in Pembrokeshire is as lovely a journey as you could ever wish to make.
Perhaps you are a Welsh resident or you live in the west of England and you have never walked the coastal path in Pembrokeshire, then shame on you.
It's time we took a look at what is in store.
The first thing to note is that Britain only has the one coastal national park, and it is right at the edge of that you will find the Pembrokeshire Coastal path.
It is over one hundred and forty miles which is somewhat more than a bit of a walk, more than a hike.
In factit would be an endurance test, but obviously you don't have to walk all of it.
The great thing is that almost all of the Pembrokeshire path is untouched by the 21st century, although good advice would possibly be to avoid Tenby and St.
David's although to be fair they are not exactly unattractive.
Use of the word spectacular would not be an exaggeration, when you get the chance to look down on golden beaches hammered by raging surf.
You will if you are lucky see seals, dolphins, and occasionally a shark, and even more infrequently, but it does happen that you might see a whale.
Colonies of sea birds inhabit the wild cliffs and offshore islands,and on your way you will come upon harbours and villages which are quite delightful, and have lovely pubs to stop at where the food and drink are excellent.
What you will enjoy is the fact that there is a tremendous amount of variety on your walk.
You needn't just go in summer, and in fact walking the Pembrokeshire path in winter is amazing.
The spectacle of an Atlantic storm with huge waves crashing into the cliffs is a sight never to be forgotten.
The windswept deserted beaches in winter are somehow almost more appealing than the calmness of summer.
Now the Pembrokeshire Coastal path is actually a two week walk, and rumour has it you will do as much climbing up hill as you would do climbing Mount Everest.
Do not be put off by this, there are enough day outs here to keep you occupied for many years and never be bored.
