Itinerary Day to Day Day 1: Fishguard Arrive into Fishguard to your 4 star guest house.

Day 2: Fishguard to Newport 14.5 - 15.5 km 4.5 hours Today your walk leaves Fishguard in a northerly direction, first you walk down to Lower Fishguard and within a few hundred meters you walk on to the coastal way. At about half way you will come to the stunning Dinas Head and Needle Rock. Here you can decide if you want to cut across Dinas Head or walk around it. Soon afterwards you will arrive in the lovely quaint village of Newport where you can board the Poppit Rocket bus back to Fishguard. Overnight in Fishguard.

Day 3: Newport – Cardigan 12.5 km to 20.7 km 3.5-6 hours After breakfast you board the local bus – the Poppit Rocket – to the start of your walk in Newport. This section of the coastal way some say is one of the toughest, you have the chance to exit the coastal path at Molygrove and catch the Poppit Rocket back to Fishguard, or you can continue the full length of the walk. The area around Cardigan Bay is famous for the dolphins which can often be found basking in the harbour and bay region. Overnight in Fishguard. Day 4: Fishguard – Stumble Head – Tregwynt 14.5 - 21.5 km 4.5-6 hours You will leave Fishguard behind you today as you climb to the cliff tops again. Look out for the various types of bird life nesting in the cliffs. Now you will have long breathtaking views south along much of the Pembrokeshire coastline. Shortly, you will arrive at Stumble Head lighthouse. Now it is automatic but you can imagine not long ago that the lighthouse keeper used to live and work the lights. Here there are great viewing galleries for you to look out to sea and spot dolphins, porpoises and various types of whales. After your walk you shall board the Stumble Shuttle to the ancient city of St David’s, it is the UK’s smallest city and the home of Wales’s patron Saint. Overnight St David’s.

Day 6: St David’s – St David’s 16.5 km 5 hours Today you can have various choices. Our walk will take you around the St David’s peninsular with the views of the bird sanctuary – Ramsey Island. For the adventurous you can take a rest day and head out to the nearby docks for an inflatable speed boat ride to Ramsey Island. When the tides are incoming a small section of the sea becomes very dangerous with whirl pools. If the engine cuts out here then it is time to pray. Then you will continue to circle the island with the expert guide telling you about the sea lions, seals and abundance of bird life which use the Island’s cliffs for nesting. When back to St David’s you must view the ancient Cathedral. Overnight St David’s.
