| Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire Walks, Tom Hutton - Although deep in South Wales, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire have a strong English influence, but their most striking feature, from the point of view of the walker, is that they contain some of the most spectacular coastal scenery and finest stretches of coast path in Britain. Although the walks in this guide inevitably concentrate on the coast, especially using the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, their characters vary considerably, ranging from the splendid cliff scenery around the peninsula of Dinas Island and to the west of Port-Eynon Bay, to the wooded stretches between Saundersfoot and Tenby. Pathfinder Guides are Britain's best loved walking guides. They are the perfect companion for country walks throughout Britain. Each title features 28 circular walks with easy-to-follow route descriptions, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers. The routes range from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, so there is something for everyone. Published January 11. |

Running for 186 miles (299 km), it follows the spectacular coast of the Pembrokeshire National Park from St Dogmaels on the peninsula’s northern coast, via the lovely towns of St David’s and Tenby, and the dramatic natural harbour of Milford Haven, to Amroth on the south coast.

The Pembrokeshire Coastal 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. An accommodation guide,
distance charts and access and transport points provide additional
information, together with an informative introduction, which includes the
region's geology, history, flora and fauna, topography and weather
conditions. The long-distance walk is divided into 15 clear sections of
between 7 and 19 miles. "The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path" provides an
almost unique association of natural beauty, habitat, variety and mood,
which is readily accessible to lovers of the countryside throughout the
year. Published August 08.
