Walks near Abereiddi
5 of our walks start within about 6 miles of Abereiddi — 33 miles of walking between them. The nearest starts in the village itself: Abereiddi to Porthgain and the Blue Lagoon.
1 is a circular — park once, walk, end up back at the car. 3 are linear stages of the Coast Path, needing transport at both ends; 1 is there-and-back to something worth seeing.
1 is graded easy, 2 strenuous. That grading is about ascent, not distance — the Coast Path drops into every valley it meets and climbs straight back out.
Sorted by how far the start is from Abereiddi. Every one has parking notes, an honest difficulty grade and a safety section on its own page.
Porthgain to Whitesands Bay
From an industrial harbour past the Blue Lagoon and round the wild north side of the St Davids peninsula to the county's most popular beach.
8 miles · 4½–5 hours · Moderate
Starts 1.3 miles from Abereiddi
Solva to Newgale
A relentlessly up-and-down stage between a drowned-valley harbour and a two-mile shingle beach. Short on paper, hard on the legs.
5 miles · 3 hours · Strenuous
Starts 4 miles from Abereiddi
Distances are to the start of each walk, straight-line from the centre of Abereiddi. Several of these cross grazed clifftop with an unfenced drop — dogs on leads, and if cattle come at you while you’re holding one, let go. In an emergency anywhere near the coast, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
