Some great (cheeky) coastal paths if you're brave (I'm not)

Not a great deal around St David's - the coast path from Whitesands to Abereiddy is ok. Carn Ingli and the Preseli's have some short blasts that are worthwhile. Llys y fran is also ok but I can get round in about 30 mins. Rosebush has a few tracks you just need to know where you're going so you don't end up in the bottom of a quarry (if you go visit the cheese makers in Rosebush as well - I think Caws Preseli is an amazing cheese).
Most of the rides around Pembs off-road are short blasts or dicking about (Canaston Woods near Haverfordwest can be fun).
Road riding is great though with some beautiful coastal roads to go on.Posted 10 months ago # -
NyA felt a tad more than an hour away but is very nice and worth a visit.

An hour was a rough guess btw

I'm heading up there in a few weeks, we are doing a two week tour of Wales and st davids is our only coastal stop.
Can you ride along coastal paths, if your just wanting to potter about and not do any serious riding. Or do walkers kick off and go mad?

Very close to the cliff edge is a bigger concern than any walkers

back now...!!
Very nice place but not a massive amount of riding to be had.
Gazerath, some of the coastal path would have made great riding, but even before the schools had broken up it was busy during the day. Whether you'd get grief from the day trippers I don't know, but some parts are quite narrow and unless you wanted to seriously annoy folks by blasting through I reckon it'd be a bit annoying to ride
Can recommend TYF adventure if you wanted to do some activities, wife did kayaking/coasteering and we both tried surfing, very funny!
The Bench in St Davids does great ice cream btw....

I think i might have to drop into St Davids on the way back from SSWC.
I spent loads of time down at Whitesands Bay as a kid and keep meaning to go back.From what I remember it's a fantastic coastline down there.
You got any pictures?

Coastal path is very cheeky at this time of year. Getting into conflict is fairly likely.
Preselis are damp again.
Brechfa not too far away.Posted 10 months ago # -

I too went here a lot as a kid on holiday. Love the area. Great coastal walks and beaches. Just needs more bike paths.
For useless trivia, my dad's 2nd wife's brother built the first shop down at Whitesands...
