Overview

Terrific Seaside Tenby & Perfect Pembrokeshire Coast combine with superb safe and sociable walking. Few people would dispute that the Pembrokeshire coast is one of the finest in the country so it will come as no surprise that on all three days we’ll be walking beside or close to the sea! Whether you are looking for longer or shorter walks, the area is a sheer delight. You will feel invigorated walking above the rugged and spectacular limestone and sandstone cliffs that typify the area. Pembrokeshire’s national park is unique in that it is the country’s only national park based entirely on coastal scenery; it boasts beautiful sandy beaches, wonderful headlands, medieval cliff top castles and early Christian sites. Add all this to lively pubs and a superb hotel location and you have the essential ingredients of a fine walking weekend!

Location & Itinerary

Is this for me?

If you love walking and great company by the Coast then yes it is!

To allow you to choose a walk that suits you best, we will provide a minimum of two walks on each day, led by professional and knowledgeable walking guides. On both days there will be a harder walk of 10-13 miles with up to 1,500+ft of ascent, and a gentler walk of 7-9 miles with less ascent.

Travel & Stay

Tenby 1

We will be staying in the Clarence House Hotel which is superbly situated in the centre of the Esplanade enjoying panoramic views over the South Shore to St Catherine’s Island, Castle Beach, Giltar Point and the sea beyond. The hotel is used to catering for groups and meal choice is ample and varied while the Seagull Bar keeps us topped up with drinks. The Rose Garden offers us peace and tranquillity and is a perfect place to relax at the end of a hot summer’s day. You can also watch the world ‘sail-by’ from the Caldey View Terrace vantage point; where stunning views abound. All six floors are serviced by a lift and all bedrooms are en-suite with colour televisions and tea and coffee making facilities. All in all a great base to operate a walking holiday from. On Friday night we will all gather and take our evening meal together in the hotel. Then on Saturday and Sunday we will head onto Tenby to sample the many delights of Tenby’s cafés, restaurants and bars!!
