Product Description
Product Description
The spectacular coastal scenery of Pembroke's national park, south Wales, is only one of the county's many facets explored in this collection of 40 varied and interesting walks. The routes take you through the Preseli Hills (from which ancient man took the 'bluestones' for Stonehenge), the Daugleddau's hidden tidal reaches (once busy with coal barges), deep wooded gorges (whose fast-flowing streams powered long-forgotten mills), prehistoric hill forts, medieval castles, isolated churches and many intriguing places that await discovery. With 40 routes ranging between 2 and 12 miles (20km), there is something for everyone, often incorporating places to visit or a welcoming pub or cafe en route.

This book is more that just a book telling you how to navigate circular walks. There is a lot of information on the local history and various places of interest. Just as well really because it was often difficult to follow the directions. The map extracts were quite small and the OS map was required too. We got lost completely on the Kilgetty walk. It also involved trying to find the way through a farm and the farmer was not very friendly. The path was not signed very well even though it was supposed to be a main walking route. It made me wonder whether the signs had been tampered with. However, having managed to find our way through the farm we got lost further on. It involved crossing a stream (which my wife was not happy about!) and the next instruction was that it swept to the right so we turned right when coming across a track. It should have been left and that was the end of the planned walk because by the time we realised it had gone wrong we were miles away.
The book is better as reading material than the landranger book but was sometimes difficult to follow.

This book is great. I recently worked part time in a tourist information centre in Pembrokeshire and regularly referred visitors to this book.
It has walks of varying length and in different parts of the county so you can see the diverse landscape. The book tells you where to start your walk and has a small map accompanied with descriptive text and points of interest.
Great for money-its like having a guide in your pocket!

A good selection of walks of various lengths in this picturesque part of Wales. Very well researched and illustrated and the inclusion of local history notes for each walk is a useful addition. Detail good but maps small so a separate OS map is useful, particularly for longer walks. However the book is a handy size, fitting comfortably into a rucksack or coat pocket. I found it to be a good introduction to the area for walkers of all abilities.

Not good
All but impossible to find the start locations of these walks. We tried a couple then gave up. Big disappointment

Practical but not inspirational
I have just bought it and haven't followed a walk yet using this book, but on first glance it's not the most user friendly. Read more

Good introduction to the area
I bought this for my Swiss friend who was moving to Pembrokeshire. She loves walking and has tried quite a few of the walks successfully. A good price too.

A useful reference
Although I haven't read it from cover to cover, it did prove to be a useful reference point during a recent trip to Pembrokeshire.
