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.

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. Family Walks in Pembrokeshire, Laurence Main - 16 walks of up to 6 miles. Limited availability.  Published March 84.
