A trail running holiday from St Dogmaels to Amroth along this stunning National Trail.
From £590 per person
Spectacular views over the sea are a constant staple of our trail running holidays along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
Part of the Wales Coast Path, which covers every inch of the Welsh coastline, this National Trail winds around the southern tip of Wales from St Dogmaels to Amroth, an undulating route that will put your hill-climbing skills to the test.
Spend each night at coastal towns with friendly communities, and spot seals and seabirds as you jog your way along the seaside.
We also organise walking holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £590 per person
From Dale, enjoy the sandy bays, limestone cliffs and clamouring wildlife as you wind your way through Milford Haven, around St Govan’s Head and through Tenby to the shores of Carmarthen Bay. It’s an undulating route, with plenty of slopes along the way, but with endless coastal scenery to buoy you along and plenty of fascinating sites to enjoy as you catch your breath, from the Martello Naval Tower to the Petrified Forest.
There’s an industrial edge to the landscapes near Milford Haven, with the old Royal Navy Dockyard and the oil refineries along the Pembroke River, which gives this route a dual nature as it dips into the pure natural beauty of Carmarthen Bay.
This route can be run in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

The run between Dale and Milford Haven requires the crossing of two tidal inlets at Pickleridge and Sandy Haven. Both crossings are sufficiently flooded by the incoming tide to make them impassable at high tide. Pickleridge can only be safely crossed 3.5 hours either side of low tide and Sandy Haven can only be safely crossed within 2.5 hours either side of low tide.
Careful timing of your arrival at these inlets is therefore necessary to allow sufficient time (up to 2 hours) to run the intervening 5 miles or so of coast between Pickleridge and Sandy Haven before the crossing becomes impassable. If you miss either there is no alternative crossing and in both cases a substantial 4 mile detour for each crossing is necessary or a long wait of up to 5.5 hours. Before booking please check here for tide times.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
You can add rest days at any of the overnight stops:
Roving through contrasting landscapes as you run through the industrial areas near Milford Haven and emerge into the dramatic coastal scenery as you near Amroth.
Enjoying the quiet beach of Barafundle, a secluded bay that can only be reached on foot.
Visiting sites of historical interest at Pembroke Castle and Manorbier Castle, and delving into the traditions of seaside Pembrokeshire towns along the way.
