First evening

On our first evening together we will meet at Newgale Campsite, situated right on the beach. We will enjoy the evening getting to know each other, and maybe taking a stroll along the enormous Newgale sands before watching the sunset over the sea.

Newgale campsite is accessible by bus from Haverfordwest Train station. If you plan to drive to Newgale you will need to organise your own car-parking for the duration of our adventure.

Day 1

Day one is an eight-and-a-half-mile walk from Newgale to Caerfai, along rugged cliffs. We will break our journey halfway to explore the little harbour town of Solva, with its shops and cafes, where there will be a chance to enjoy a cream tea or an ice cream.

Our campsite is just a mile from the city of St Davids, so anybody with energy left after the day’s hiking could walk into town to explore or enjoy a meal in one of the many pubs or restaurants.

Day 2

Day two on the trail sees us starting our 7.5-mile journey around the St Davids Peninsula, to our campsite near Whitesands Bay. Along the way we will pass St Non’s chapel, Porth Clais Harbour (where there is a small cafe and ice cream shack) and the lifeboat station at St Justinian’s. This section of the coast is famous for its wildlife as the Ramsey Island RSPB reserve is just offshore.

Our campsite is perched above a small sandy beach, with views west to catch the sunset.

Day 3

Day three of our journey is eight miles of much wilder coast, as we traverse St Davids Head, with its rocky moorland peaks towering above us. There are no facilities along this remote section of coastline, but we will be amply rewarded with solitude and incredible views.

Our campsite is nestled into a little valley set back from the coast – a real safe haven after the wildness of the day’s hiking.

Day 4

Day four’s hike is eight miles long and takes us past a section of the coast steeped in history. We will pass the old quarries of the Blue Lagoon (now a famous wild swimming spot), before taking a break at the industrial quayside at Porthgain, which has a shop and cafe/chippy.

Our campsite for the night allows campfires, so don’t forget to pack some treats to enjoy as we relax around the flames together.

Day 5

Our journey on day five takes us out onto the start of Strumble Head – another wild section of coastline swept by tidal races. Along our eight-and-a-half-mile route, we will pass the stunning Aber Mawr beach before the cliffs start getting higher and taller as we enter Strumble Head.

Our campsite is slightly inland, tucked behind one of the many rocky outcrops that litter the headland. If you have any energy left the nearby mini-mountain of Garn Fawr has incredible views!

Day 6

Day six is our final (and longest) day, at nine miles. We will traverse another section of wild and remote coast past Strumble Head lighthouse, before following the coast round to Goodwick and Fishguard. This is the end of our walk, and we will enjoy a celebratory drink at the beachside cafe before saying our goodbyes.

Goodwick has a train station (and a ferry to Ireland!) making it the perfect place to end our adventure. There are regular trains and buses back to Haverfordwest (or Newgale), or onwards to the rest of Wales and (eventually) England.
