Walk 2056 - Pointz Castle from Solva

Nat Park	Pembrokeshire Coast
County/Area	Pembrokeshire
Author	Jacinta Ashworth
Length	5.5 miles / 8.9 km
Ascent	200 feet / 61 metres
Grade	easy/moderate

An outstandingly attractive and yet fairly undemanding walk in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park from the harbour village of Solva. The route climbs to Cribyn ridge above Solva harbour, a grand viewpoint. It continues to Pointz castle. After turning back towards the sea, the return is a great cliff top ramble, later climbing to Cribyn ridge again and descending back into Solva.
