Jarrold Pathfinder 34 - Pembrokeshire & Camarthenshire
ISBN: 0-7117-0611-5
Although deep in South Wales, Pembrokeshire and Gower have a strong English influence, evident not only in their names but in the distinctive, tall and often crenallated English-style towers of many of the churches in these areas. But their most striking feature, from the point of view of the walker, is that they contain some of the most spectacular coastal scenery and finest stretches of coast path in Britain.
Although the walks in this guide inevitably concentrate on the coast, especially using the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, their characters vary considerably, ranging from the splendid cliff scenery around the peninsula of Dinas Island and to the west of Port-Eynon Bay, to the wooded stretches between Saundersfoot and Tenby, and from the wild and lonely coast near Strumble Head to the sandy expanses of Rhossili Bay and the fine beaches of the Marloes peninsula. Walkers will also encounter castles at Pembroke and Cilgeran, the tiny, 13th-century St Govan's Chapel and the medieval monuments of St David's.
