9-Day Pembrokeshire Coast Path Itinerary — Fastpacker Pace

Hit the ground running from Amroth beach, pushing through Saundersfoot and the colourful streets of Tenby without lingering. Continue through Penally and along increasingly dramatic clifftops to Manorbier Castle, then press on past secluded coves to reach Freshwater East's sheltered bay.

A big day past Bosherston's lily ponds and the spectacular Stack Rocks and Green Bridge of Wales. Navigate the MOD firing range section (check firing times), continue along the south coast past West Angle Beach, and finish at the tiny harbour village of Angle on the Milford Haven waterway.

Follow the northern shore of the Milford Haven waterway, passing through Pembroke with its magnificent castle. Continue past Pembroke Dock and along the estuary to reach the town of Milford Haven, a working port with a rich maritime heritage.

Head along the coast past Sandy Haven's tidal crossing, around the Dale peninsula and past the sailing haven of Dale. Continue along the dramatic clifftops of the Marloes peninsula with views out to Skomer and Skokholm islands, finishing at the stunning Marloes Sands beach.

Pass Musselwick Sands and round the coast to Broad Haven. Continue through Druidston along the clifftops of St Brides Bay with sweeping views across the water. Descend to the vast two-mile beach at Newgale, a popular surfing spot backed by a dramatic storm pebble bank.

Climb out of Newgale along rugged clifftops, passing through the pretty harbour village of Solva. Continue to St Davids, Britain's smallest city with its magnificent cathedral, then push on to Whitesands Bay — one of the finest beaches in Wales with views across to Ramsey Island.

Round the wild headland of St Davids Head with its Iron Age fort, then follow a remote and dramatic coastline past tiny coves and rocky headlands. Pass through Trefin and Abercastle before climbing to Pwll Deri YHA, perched spectacularly on the clifftop with views along the entire north Pembrokeshire coast.

A demanding day around Strumble Head lighthouse and along exposed clifftops before descending through Goodwick to Fishguard. Push on past Dinas Head, a dramatic headland with panoramic views across Cardigan Bay, then descend to the charming town of Newport set beneath the Preseli Hills.

The final day along some of Pembrokeshire's most remote and dramatic coastline. Climb steeply to Cemaes Head, passing secluded Ceibwr Bay with its spectacular folded rock formations. Continue along towering cliffs with views across Cardigan Bay before descending to St Dogmaels on the Teifi estuary — your Pembrokeshire Coast Path adventure complete.
