Walking in Pembrokeshire - Porthgain

1. Commence at the car park in Porthgain by The Sloop Inn and walk downhill towards the small harbour.

2. Start the walk by leaving the harbour to the right by a round stone shelter and walk uphill (there is a coastal path way-marker sign here).

3. Walk 20yards to a stone cairn then follow the cliff edge, (admiring the steep granite cliffs) for 70 yards. Now cross the edge of two small fields and rejoin the coastal path for 200 yards steeply downhill to cross a small wooden bridge over a brook.

4. Then walk uphill along the coastal path for 300 yards to a kissing gate into a field – turn right to follow a stone wall to a field corner and a wooden stile.

5. Cross this stile and follow the fence on your right to a stone stile into a field (this field has a small circle of stones in it)

6. Follow the path downhill (clearly way-marked) and over a wooden stile then cross a stone stile into a lane.

7. Turn right and walk along the lane for 500 yards to cross a stile in the hedge on your right and into a field.

8. Cross this field diagonally to the left to a small wooden gate – go through the gate into another field and follow the left hand hedge to another small gate.

9. Go through this gate onto a farm track for 300 yards to the farm gate. Go through the farm gate and follow the track downhill to cross a small stream.

10. Cross the stream and go uphill for 50 yards to a small gate (there is a public footpath sign here) – go through the gate into a paddock – cross the paddock to a kissing gate and into a field.

11. Go into this field and follow the left hand edge to the bottom of the field to another kissing gate, then 20 yards to another small wooden gate to meet a stream.

12. Cross this by a wooden bridge then turn left along a track, which leads straight back to the car park where you started the walk.
