I walked from Laugharne as part of the National Parks Challenge 2026. I broke the route at Saundersfoot.

It is a damn fine route which gets even better when on the coast.

The footpath which exist left off the cycle route no 4 to Pendine is blocked by at least one barbed wire fence. I retraced my steps and walked down the B4314.

Absolutely epic section between so many lovely places. Started in Tenby which is a bustling seaside town with everything you night need. Routing is mostly on the coast path so easy to follow (we actually followed this all the way for ease). Some fantatastic beach and cliff sections. Worth stopping in Saundersfoot for food, and Laugharne has plenty of culture to explore with its caatle and connections to Dylan Thomas. We broke the walk in two, starting in Tenby and finishing in Amroth on the first day and carrying on from there to Laugharne (and on to St Clears) the next. Only comment about the route is the distance is very long with a lot of elevation. To complete in one go you would definitely need to be fit. There's also limited shelter on some sections if the weather is adverse.

I walked this from Laugharne - Tenby.

The route from Laugharne to Pendine is just across farmland and country lanes - to avoid the MoD site and not just walk along a busy A road.

However it suddenly gets the wow factor at Pendine and onwards. The first of many steep ups and downs follows as you climb up to the top of the cliff and get amazing views back across Pendine. Walking to Ragwen point and the remainder of the route opens up before you with the Tenby visible in the distance. You can make a side quest down a track to Marros beach (was deserted).

Although at Amroth the path cuts above you can walk on the beach. Once you cross the bridge over the waterfall there is a path to the left over some boulders. There are a couple of streams which cut across the beach - its not deep but will go over the top of your boots - I had taken some wet shoes so used those. You can walk on the stone bank to avoid this.

The paths into and past Saundersfoot were quite muddy. But Saundersfoot is a good place for food and drink.

By Monkstone Point I was flagging due to all the ups and downs - and mud. There is a great view of Tenby from the cliffs and all the coloured houses.

Word of warning there is a lot of cliff walking and you do get close to the edge at times. Take care - especially with photos and selfies !.
