Dinas Head Heritage Coast
Description:
The headland at Dinas is one of the most spectacular along the
Pembroksehire Coast (which is saying a great deal). At 463 feet
in height, the cliffs at Dinas Head provide excellent views
across Fishguard Bay to the south and Newport Bay to the north.
The headland is under the care of the National Trust.
In May and June the woodlands here are thick with bluebells,
and a nature trail wanders for 2 miles along the River Tywi.
Dinas Head is contained within the Pembrokeshire Coast National
Park, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs along the length
of the heritage coast. Heather and gorse carpet the headland
in late summer and fall.

Pembrokeshire Coast Path
The 186 mile path follows the heritage coast and takes in the
entire length of the Pembrokeshire National Park. The walking
is superb, the scenery breathtaking, as the path climbs along
cliffs and beside sandy bays. Thankfully, this trail is more
sparsely traveled than most other long-distance paths in Britain.
