Help connect Haverfordwest
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Haverfordwest’s Slow Ways.

From here all of the walk down to Johnston follows the existing train line on a fairly newly laid off road national cycle path (Number 4). There is a fair amount of variety for a cycle path with lots of twists and turns and a bit of low level gradient. On exiting Johnston I took a paved right of way opposite the church down a small alleyway. This took me back onto the National Cycle network again. Further on, there are clear signposts splitting the cycle path with a public right of way straight ahead. I don't know whether it was intentional to build the path off the right of way and/or whether the rights of way team knew anything about it! The right of way exits onto a quiet country lane that runs down to a busier road, where you branch left following the cycle path running adjacent to the road. Care is needed to cross this road and walk along the pavement. After a short section, care is needed again to cross back over and take a right onto a quiet lane and under a railway line. It's an off road cycle path that runs alongside Hubberston Pill into Milford Haven and my end point. the stop off at Johnston was nice to break the journey up and the path alongside Hubberston Pill is a definite highlight to begin/end your walk....

The first section through Haverfordwest is fairly non eventful walking along pedestrianised areas, or on pavements alongside road. At the town boundary, indicated by a "Welcome to Haverfordwest" style sign, the route forks right along Cuckoo lane on a quiet single track lane to reach Cuckoo lodge. When I walked the route I used the farmers gate to cross a field boundary, despite the presence of waymarking and a metal right of way gate 20 metres to the left. The off road section ends at Sutton Lodge and the road goes into the hamlet and then circles the buildings before exiting the settlement. The next section heading into Nolton Cross involved a gradual climb along the road for about 10 to 15 minutes. At Nolton Cross, this was the first place I could stop for a break, so I visited the Farm Shop on the route. After the refreshments, I followed the road and descended down into Nolton Haven where there is a stunning sandy beach, a pub, toilets and on my walk, a mobile ice cream van. As mentioned in the survey, if you are on wheels, you can avoid this section of the coastpath and follow the road up a steep hill out of Nolton Haven that will eventually lead into Newgale....

Walk this routeThere were a number of minor inaccuracies due to the smaller than usual GPS marks plotted on the map, when combined contributed to a further 0.25 miles. The route also had to deviate due to landslips in the area between Nolton Haven and Newgale. NewgHav Two uploaded to reflect theses amendments - although the route is fundamentally the same....

The first section of the walk through the woodlands overlooking the marina in Neyland meant that it is not fully suitable for those with wheels. Its a fantastic route for those of wheels if you can find a detour at Neyland, but a walk can become fairly monotonous due to the lack of variety or terrain and scenery....
