This Pembrokeshire walk from Poppit Sands explores the valley of Cwm yr Esgyr using tracks and footpaths to reach the coast at Pwyllgranant. The route then follows the often-precipitous Pembrokeshire Coast Path which rises to over 500 feet above the sea to reach Cemaes Head. The walk then descends along a quiet lane back to the start.
