Fishguard to St Davids
The route is very much two parts that join at Trefin. The first section from Fishguard to Trefin is quite hilly, and is on some major roads for short distances initially. Leave Fishguard however and things start getting quieter, with some nice county lanes and a short traffic free section.
Things really get going however as you get towards and head beyond Trefin. Running mainly on a ridgeline just inline from the coast, the route is less hilly (although still expect a few climbs) and the views along the Pembrokeshire Coast are stunning. If you don’t mind a steep climb back to the route, it’s possible to branch off down to small coves and the cliffs.
On the other side you can enjoy the scene provided by the Preseli Hills and its rugged landscape created by many burial cairns.
Due to the popularity of St Davids, even the minor roads can get quite busy as you approach the small and unique city, and it’s famous cathedral, but don’t let the thought of the traffic put you off as the scenery is fantastic and the setting provided by St Davids is truly wonderful.
