Start and finish in St David’s.
Distance
8 miles / 13 kilometres for the whole route but there are a number of options to shorten the route during the tourist season by using the Celtic Coaster bus service as described.
It’s 7 miles/ 11 kilometres if looping back to St Davids by taking the inland route option from Porthclais,
6 miles / 10 kilometres if catching the bus from St Davids to St Justinian’s to start the walk or only 4 miles / 6 kilometres if using the bus service at both ends of the journey and only walking from St Justinian’s to Porthclais.
Along the way
This walk follows some fabulous clifftop sections and quiet country lanes in the footsteps of Dark Age saints who came here as pilgrims, and passes the turbulent and dangerous waters of Ramsey Sound. A wealth of wildlife can be seen, from dolphins and porpoise to peregrines and chough. And once on the coast, navigation is a dream – we just need to keep the sea on our right.
But we start in the UK’s smallest city, pretty St Davids and its quaint streets, cafes, boutiques and galleries. For such a small place, it really does pack a punch.
