Seasons: Spring brings wildflowers and nesting seabirds to the cliffs, while autumn is the time for seals to give birth to their pups. In summer, everyone traditionally heads for the beach, but with generally mild winters, there are enjoyable days to be had throughout the year.
Centres: Amroth, Saundersfoot, Tenby, Pembroke, Milford Haven
Difficulty: Alternating between beach and cliff inevitably means ups and downs, but nothing is overly demanding and you can always pause to admire the view. The routes follow generally clear, established paths and require little more than common sense and basic fitness to get around.
Must See: Tenby, Saundersfoot and Amroth are long-established, traditional holiday resorts that have lost none of their traditional charm. Dale, Manorbier, Marloes, Broad Haven and Stackpole boast fine beaches too, with additional attractions that include island boat trips, the famous lily ponds and a castle. There's another castle and rare tidal mill at Carew and an unusual cliff chapel at St Govan's. The cliff-top scenery is spectacular throughout with many secluded coves to discover.
