Guidebook describing 40 circular walks in the Pembrokeshire National Park, including the Preseli Hills, the Daugleddau and walks on the Pembrokeshire Coast. The routes, which range from 1 to 12 miles, are suitable for beginners or experienced hikers and walk descriptions are accompanied by 1:50,000 mapping. Information is also given regarding parking and public transport options, as well as toilets and refreshments available along the way. The guide also includes a useful route summary table, plus information on tides, the terrain, and weather in the region.
This collection of circular walks showcase the spectacular cliffs and superb beaches of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park but also explore further inland, exploring the expansive Preseli hills, medieval castles and the unfrequented upper Daugleddau.
Pembrokeshire offers delightful walking at any time of the year but highlights include: spring flowers and countless seabirds; summer days on the beaches; autumn colours and seals. Winters are generally mild but snow occasionally visits high ground and coastal storms can be ferocious.

Author Description
Dennis and Jan Kelsall have long held a passion for countryside and hill walking. Since their first Cicerone title was published in 1995, they have written, contributed and illustrated over 50 guides to some of Britain's most popular walking areas and have become regular contributors to various outdoor magazines. Their enjoyment of the countryside extends far beyond a love of fresh air, open spaces and scenery. Over the years Dennis and Jan have developed a wider interest in the environment, its geology and wildlife, as well as an enthusiasm for delving into local history, which so often provides clues to interpreting the landscape.
