This is a beautiful route in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park that leads you along the coast to Stackpole National Nature Reserve. From the car park along Trent Hill, follow the path past the Freshwater East Dunes and Freshwater East Bay, continuing on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a 300-kilometre section of the Wales Coast Path, tracing the Pembrokeshire coastline along the clifftops and offering gorgeous scenery. The path leads you past Greenala Point and the remains of the Greenala Point Iron Age promontory fort. Continue all the way to Stackpole Quay, where you’ll find a tearoom and toilet facilities. You’ll pass Lorts Cave on the way to Barafundle Bay, which is often considered one of Pembrokeshire’s most beautiful beaches, surrounded by dunes and trees. This is a great place for swimming on a warm day. Continue through the Stackpole National Nature Reserve, an area of limestone grassland, freshwater lakes, woodland, dunes, and limestone cliffs. You’ll pass Sandy Pit on the way to Saddle Point and continue along Broad Haven, crossing a footbridge to meander along the waterside of the Bosherston Lily Pools, which were created in the 18th and 19th centuries and are a haven for otters, dragonflies and wildfowl. The nature reserve is also home to the rare horseshoe bat. You’ll pass the site of an ancient fort and continue through woodland along the river banks, which are covered in wildflowers in spring. Eventually, you’ll cross the Eight Arch Bridge and head across the fields back to Stackpole Quay. From here, retrace your steps along the coastline back to Freshwater East.
