Covering the entire length of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, you will be rewarded with something different at every turn, from unspoilt landscapes, sheltered coves to sandy beaches. Keeping largely to the clifftops you will take in everything this spectacular trail has to offer. All of this, coupled with the wealth of history to discover means that this coastal path has all the makings of a truly memorable walking holiday.
Stage 3 starts at Whitesands, where the terrain begins to become more undulating as the rock type shifts along the trail, creating dramatic coastal cliffs and scenery – the walking remains relatively straight forward, however you will need to stock up on daily supplies as the landscape is sparsely populated between the major settlements. The final section is a delight of spectacular views and hidden coves, with the summit of Carmes Head allowing you to look back on the trail you’ve come along and reminisce about your exciting journey before arriving in St Dogmaels, where the journey finishes.
We take the stress out of your trip with expert local knowledge, hand-picked accommodation, luggage transfers and detailed support to help you find your way. You will need full walking kit including waterproof jacket and trousers, a comfortable day sack and comfortable walking boots. You will receive a more detailed kit list upon booking.

Evening meals and lunches
You can purchase evening meals either at the accommodation or nearby. When our event planners send you the schedule with itinerary you could prearrange directly with the accommodation or during the walk.
For lunches we would suggest bringing some of your own favourite snack bars and then asking the accommodation for a packed lunch for the following day and also supplementing that at stops en-route.
Accommodation
Accommodation is generally at B&B, guest houses and small hotels. Once booked in, your event planner will send you a list of your booked accommodation. It is possible to adjust according to preference at this stage so please mention it if you wish to change.
Dog-friendly
If you would like to bring your four legged friend, then we will do our best to source dog friendly accommodation. It is usually possible but if it were not, then we would suggest a change of date to enable it or offer a refund. There may be a small surcharge for the overnight stays. Therefore, once booked in, please alert your event planner that you would like to bring your dog and we can proceed from there.
Need a guide?
If you would prefer to have a guide for your walk, even just for one day, then we are happy to help. We can provide a qualified leader (also first aid qualified) to lead your trek or on just one of the sections. Just ask us.
A guide can not only take the stress out of navigation, but you will also find them a great asset in terms of providing an insight into all things environment and nature.

After you book
After placing your booking with us, you will in the first instance receive an automated email from our system confirming receipt of your reservation. If you don’t receive it, it is worth checking your spam/clutter folder.

Your personal event planner will then be in touch with you to start to confirm the details. This contact will usually be taken up in the working day after receipt of your booking, but may, in busy times, take a little longer. The event planner will then liaise with you regarding the details of the course. If you have any specific requirements, please do mention it at this stage.
At the end of your trip

If you have not booked an additional night’s stay then we can transfer your luggage to a location of your choice. From there you may have onward travel arranged as per the ‘Getting There and Back’ tab above.
Some people like to treat themselves to a night’s stay in St Dogmaels at the end. And why not? You’ve earned it. You can arrange this as an optional add on with your event planner.
