Where the land meets the sea, and every trail carries echoes of the past.
West Wales is a place where walking feels elemental — shaped by sea winds, ancient stories, and wide coastal skies. Nowhere in Britain offers a coastal walking experience quite like the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a 186-mile National Trail that clings to dramatic cliffs and winds through fishing villages, sandy coves, and Celtic chapels.
But it’s not only about the coast. Inland, the Preseli Hills and Teifi Valley offer quiet, atmospheric walking through myth-laced uplands and wooded riversides. Whether you’re tracing Bronze Age tracks or descending to a hidden bay, walking in West Wales offers stillness, power, and a sense of connection.
One of the UK’s finest National Trails, this 186-mile route runs from Amroth to St Dogmaels, taking in wildlife-rich cliffs, sea stacks, lighthouses, and unforgettable beaches.
Walk across remote moorland and open ridges in this sacred upland, believed to be the source of Stonehenge’s bluestones. Trails pass cairns, standing stones, and windswept panoramas.
