Walking the Pembrokeshire Coast of Wales
In May of 2008, we took a 10 day walking trip of the Pembrokeshire Coast of Wales with friends from Bellingham, Washington. The weather was excellent for most of our trip. We flew into Bristol, England and then took a train to Bath, England where we spent the night. The next day we toured historic points of interest in Bath, including the Roman Baths and the magnificent Bath Abbey.
After our time in Bath, we departed by train to the Pembrokeshire Coast of Wales. Our hiking adventure began in Little Haven, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. It ended 10 days later in Fishguard. We spent most nights in bed and breakfast inns. To lighten our load during our hikes, we sent our bags by taxi each morning to the next bed and breakfast inn on our itinerary.
There were many highlights from our trip, but two stood out from the others. The first was a stop in St. Davids, a small cathedral city the size of a village built on the site of the monastery founded by St. David in the 6th Century. We planned our hike so we could attend a Baroque music concert at St. David's Cathedral during the annual St. Davids Cathedral Festival. The music and the setting inside the cathedral were splendid!
The second highlight from our trip was in Fishguard were we ended our hiking trip. We were fortunate to attend a portion of the Fishguard Folk Festival that was held in the Royal Oak Pub in Fishguard. Again, the music and the setting were delightful.
