This afternoon walking tour takes you along part of the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coastal Path that runs from Amroth in the south to Dogmaels in the north. St David's Head and Carn Llidi are two of the most prominent landmarks on the Pembrokeshire coast.
Transfer to the glorious sandy sweep of Whitesands Bay -- a curving, mile-long expanse of flat sand considered to be one of the finest beaches in the country. From here, begin a circular walk on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path with an experienced guide.
See the now-bare site of St Patrick's Chapel, where St Patrick originally embarked for Ireland. Sea voyagers used to pray here for a safe journey or give thanks for their arrival.
Follow the path, which climbs steadily uphill, to St David's Head -- a wild and windswept peninsula. Admire the superb views across Whitesands Bay to Ramsey Sound and the rocky profile of Carn Llidi. On a clear day, the views extend to the Wicklow Hills in Ireland.
Continue along this wild stretch of coast toward Carn Llidi. While difficult to see amid the rocky terrain, this 5,000-year-old burial chamber of Coetan Arthur lies below the wall of crags. The views soon open up along the north coast of Pembrokeshire and then across the flat country to St David's Cathedral and the coast of St Bride's Bay.
You'll have the opportunity to climb to the summit of Carn Llidi (595 feet) before heading back around to Whitesands Bay, where your walk ends. From there, you'll transfer back to the ship.
Please note: Tour requires approximately 2.5 hours of walking, approximately five miles (7km). Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, inclines, stones, gravel, grass, steps and slippery conditions.
