This southernmost section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path winds from Amroth through the resort village of Saundersfoot, to the medieval walled town of Tenby, and onward to the well-preserved Norman castle at Manorbier. The area near the National Trust’s Stackpole Estate boasts some of the loveliest, secluded beaches on the South coast, as well as the ecologically unique Bosherston lily ponds.

Between St Govan’s Head and Angle, the route follows cliffs that boast a quintet of south coast wonders – the naturally formed cleft known as Huntsman’s Leap; tiny, ancient St Govan’s chapel, impossibly tucked into a narrow fissure above a rocky beach; two lichen covered rocks, jutting out of the sea, known as the Stacks; the natural arched stone formation of the Green Bridge; and the impressive Neolithic capstone known as Devil’s Quoit. The adventure ends in Pembroke, which features another fine Norman castle, lovely millpond walks, and the entertaining Museum of the Home.
