The Pembroke Coast Path: A Practical Guide for Walkers,
Dennis Kelsall - There is immense variety in both the scenery and
natural life of the Pembrokeshire coast, and its exploration can be
equally satisfying for serious walkers and those more inclined to potter.
At any time of the year there is much to see as the continuing cycle of
nature successively reveals its different moods and aspects. This guide is
designed to assist in the planning of a long-distance walk as well as to
provide a companion to point out some of the interesting features along
the way. The contorted nature of the coast creates many sections that can
conveniently be walked on a day basis, and a separate chapter suggests
some possibilities. The long-distance walk is divided into 15 clear
sections of between 7 and 19 miles. Published June 05.

long-forgotten mills), prehistoric hill forts, medieval castles, isolated
churches and many intriguing places that await discovery. With 40 routes
ranging between 2 and 12 miles (20km), there is something for everyone,

Walking Pembrokeshire with a Fruit Cake, Patrick Stark - With the South West Coast Path completed, two friends deliberated where to choose for their next walking holiday. How about somewhere different? How about somewhere exotic? How about somewhere foreign? How about Wales? On a hot August day they set off to walk the 180 miles of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, starting from somewhere unpronounceable and finishing at a little place called Amroth, passing on the way lots more places they would struggle to enunciate. Wales, a proud land with a proud past; a land steeped in history, a land of myths and magic, castles and cromlechs, dragons and double consonants, male voice choirs and Aled Jones. Follow their adventures as they search for ice cream vans and a Welsh dictionary, asking such pertinent and profound questions as: What is happening inside my knee? Is there such a thing as too much ice cream? How long does fruit cake keep for? Do piccalilli and chocolate spread really go together? Where can I buy a postcard? And just how do you pronounce a twelve letter word that doesn’t have a single vowel? Limited availability. Published April 04. |
