14 Aug 2023I walked south west from Narberth to Pembroke. Exiting the town of Narberth, you follow a wide tarmac off road path for a mile or so. After this is quiet country roads which makes pleasant walking on the flat.
The mature hedgerows and trees were wonderful, but it did impact the view especially of the old Templeton airfield (disused) and the site of the Mynydd Carn battle in 1081.
Around 8 miles in is the highlight of the walk for me. The hidden gem of Pembrokeshire that is Cresswell Quay. Depside being the middle of August on a warm sunny day, there were less than 30 people in the area playing on paddle boards, cycling, walking, kayaking on siting in the nearby pub beer garden. At the right time of day, when the tide is flooding in, you can see the small fish literally jumping into the air to escape the attack of a predatory fish. I also enjoyed watching the swallows swoop over the quay to catch bugs on the water surface.
The next section to Milton was primarily off road and cut through some wonderful ancient holloways. The route passed by the wonderful Carew Castle and Tidal Mill that had facilities and definitely worth a stop off if you have the time.
Milton onwards to Pembroke was all on the road and you must take extract care when crossing the A477 as you approach Upper Nash. The route then takes you into a small loop of the mill pond in Pembroke to reach the end point.
Despite being the height of summer I only saw people at the popular (ish) landmarks of Cresswell Quay and Carew Castle. If you want a quiet and peaceful walk where you don't have to concentrate too much of navigation and have the opportunity to stop off mid walk - this is definitely recommended!.
