Walk Description
This is a linear coastal walk using the local bus from Marros to Pendine.
The views from the coast are magnificent and as you head west you begin to walk on rocks that were laid down millions of years ago when Wales was part of the same continent as The Appalachian Mountains of America.
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is now officially part of the International Appalachian Trail and a future article will take us from Marros onto the start of the trail.
The All Wales Coast Path will officially open on the May Bank Holiday 2012 so watch out for more walks on the coast.
Park in Marros and catch the bus from opposite the church. Frequency is about two hours Monday to Saturday so check times before leaving home.
The 10 minute journey takes you into Pendine where you follow the coast west to the bottom of the cliff. A flight of steps take you high onto the cliff-top.
Don't be fooled into thinking you have finished the climb as the path continues upward until a steep descent drops into the valley. The path climbs the other side of the cliff onto Ragwen Point.
Turn left onto the track and ascend, following the All Wales Coast Path signs. Watch for Worms Head and Tenby across the water.
The path follows a board walk and eventually a fence line to enter a gate onto a new track through woodland. After about a mile this emerges at a gate onto a broad track.
Continue uphill to a hairpin bend junction with Underhill Farm. Here another walk could continue along the coast path but today we turn right and follow the broad track uphill for about a mile to Marros Church.
Ramblers Cymru and Swansea Ramblers provide these routes but accept no responsibility for those walking them.

We have walks for varying levels of ability and you get the chance to see the countryside in places you might never go by yourself!
