Top trails

#1 - Parrog to Dinas Head

A beautiful trail along the Pembrokeshire Coast, starting in Parrog and passing Cwm-yr-Eglwys and Pwllgwaelod before retracing its steps back to the trailhead. The views along the way are absolutely stunning, and the trail is relatively level until it heads up to Dinas Head, which is a bit of an incline and just as swift of a descent. You'll find a pub in Pwllgwaelod, which makes for a great halfway stop for lunch before heading back to the trailhead in Parrog. Enjoy!

#2 - Cwm-yr-Eglwys to Aber Forest Circular

Starting at the car park in Cwm-yr-Eglwys, the trail winds along the coastal path to Aberfforest Beach and on to Aberfforest Waterfall before returning through the woodlands and farmlands. There are great views out to sea as you make your way past the coves, headlands, and beaches. Enjoy this beautiful coastal and countryside trail but take care on the rougher sections especially in wet and windy conditions. Appropriate footwear is advised.

#3 - Carn Ingli Circular

#4 - Pwllgwaelod, Dinas Cross, Aberfforest Beach, and Traeth Mawr Circular

Take your time along this great trail, but take care on the rougher sections, especially in wetter and windy conditions along the exposed cliff paths. Appropriate footwear is required.

Nice neat circular. A mix of woodland and beaches to explore. Muddy in parts but we were lucky as it had been dry a few days before. Lovely views and dog off lead all the way (are some fields which could have livestock in though so need to be vigilant)

Easy to parkNot crowdedBathrooms availableDog-friendlyGreat conditionsGreat views

Very uphill to start, then flat and down till you get to the coast path where it’s all sorts. Saw dolphins and seals. Very windy when I did it but sun was out and views were amazing. Ok for dogs but sheep, horses and cows all free roaming

First to review

A fabulous mixture of Coastal, Forest and field walking, The paths are clearly marked. Initial walk from the car park is a steep climb but generally a moderate walk with lots on the near flat. The walk through the woods is up and down and because of f as Allen trees which need climbing over or under. Most of the stepping stones are good although the first set were partially submerged in the stream. The waterfall was spectacular and well worth the walk. Highly recommended walk.
