Product Description

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path (Llwybr Arfordir Sir Benfro) is the 179-mile (2280km) National Trail around Wales's magnificent southern headland. Following the acorn waymarks, the trail makes its way from St Dogmaels around the coast, past the lovely towns of St David's and Tenby, to Amroth. This is the complete, official guide for the long distance walker or the weekend stroller. All you need is this one book. It contains: the entire route split into convenient sections; 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey maps for each section, marked with points of special interest; circular routes off the trail for shorter walks, enabling the walker to explore the local area; route information on each section, with colour photographs and notes on nearby features; background information on local history, wildlife, archaeology, geology, industry and land use; details of public transport, villages on or near the route with facilities for walkers, useful organisations and sources of further information on accommodation; the Countryside Access Charter on your rights and responsibilities when out in the countryside

Good as a route guide, but not for planning
This is a fantastic route guide, with good descriptions of the coast path and what to look out for on the way (it works North to South, so from Cardigan to Tenby, so some of the narrative would not be as useful if you are walking in the opposite direction). There are clear ordnance survey maps included, obvioulsy useful regardless of in which direction you tackle the path, and very thorough historical accounts, plus descriptions of the natural geography of specific areas along the path.

This is not, however, a planning tool. It does give some distance guides, but there is not any real information about places to stay, places to eat, or public transport - please see Pembrokeshire Coast Path (Pembrokeshire Coast Path: Amroth to Cardigan) if you need a book that will help you to plan your holiday. In my opinion these two books compliment eachother very well.

Pembrokeshire Coastal Path Trail Guide
This is an excellent and informative book which is an essential companion for all trips to the Pembrokeshire Coast. I have learnt so much more about the history of an area whilst experiencing the outstanding natural beauty of the coastline. The maps are extremely clear and are still relevant today, despite this being an older version of the Trail Guide.
