What to see

Top trails:

Dinas Island circular walk: A circular walk with steep ascent and descent gives you some of the finest views anywhere on the Pembrokeshire coast. This isn’t a long walk, but definitely one to test your fitness, with plenty of reasons to stop and admire the scenery.
Garn Fawr viewpoint walk: Climb this rocky volcanic outcrop to be rewarded with views of the North Pembrokeshire coast. The trail also offers the opportunity to visit an Iron Age fort that 3,000 years later became a First World War lookout point.
Pen Anglas headland walk: This circular walk off the coast path from Goodwick across rugged coastal heath takes in the stunning volcanic rock formations at Pen Anglas headland. You can also enjoy great views across Cardigan Bay, while a barefoot walking path makes this a family-friendly adventure into the wild.
