A Day Hike along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path from Parrog to Cwm yr Eglwys

submitted by uklmhb on 09/26/16 1

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path (Llwybr Arfordir Sir Benfro in Welsh) is a 300 km. cliff-top hiking trail that follows the Pembrokeshire coastline from Poppit Sands in the northeast to Amroth in the southeast. nt.pcnpa.org.uk/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pembrokeshire_Coast_Path www.pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk/ This video shows a section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, from The Parrog near Newport, Pembrokeshire, to Cwm yr Eglwys. Though relatively short, this hike is actually somewhat strenuous, with steep descents from rocky cliff-tops into and out of the secluded beaches of Traeth Aberhigian and Traeth Aberfforest. (At Traeth Aberfforest, a path along a cascading stream in a fern-lined woodland valley leads to a secluded waterfall inland from the beach ---- a pleasant detour from the main trail). www.newportpembs.co.uk/articles/newport-pembrokeshire-the-parrog.php en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport,_Pembrokeshire nt.pcnpa.org.uk/website/sitefiles/nat_trail.asp?usrSection=2 www.dopembrokeshire.co.uk/beaches/aberhigian_aberfforest At the end of the cliff-top trail, a steep and narrow road leads down to the small hamlet of Cwm yr Eglwys. Here, on a level grassy area above a sea wall, stands the belfry and part of the cemetery of the 12th Century church of St. Brynach that was originally damaged during a major sea-storm in October 1859. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cwm-yr-Eglwys With planning, the Poppet Rocket tourist bus offers a restful 15 minute return to The Parrog. From May through September, this limited service bus can be boarded at Pwllgwaelod, a small seaside hamlet connected to Cwm yr Eglwys by a level 1 km. path. www.visitpembrokeshire.com/latest-news/may-2014/coastal-buses-back-on-the-road/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwllgwaelod
