Walks from St Dogmaels (Llandudoch)
St Dogmaels to Poppit Sands
The official start of the Coast Path, and by far its gentlest stage: a flat two and a half miles down the Teifi estuary to a big sandy beach.
2.5 miles · 1–1¼ hours each way · Easy
Poppit Sands to Cemaes Head
The northern end of the Coast Path, and its highest cliffs. Hard work, few people, and dolphins offshore more often than not.
4 miles · 2½ hours each way · Strenuous
Ceibwr Bay to Newport
The wildest stage on the north coast: a collapsed sea cave, a long switchback over unfenced cliffs, and almost nobody else on it.
7 miles · 4½–5 hours · Strenuous
