Walking is a great way to explore Pembrokeshire, and this includes wheelchair walks.

Gentle strolls and wheelchair access walks, perfect for families with pushchairs too, are available right across Pembrokeshire.

Here are some of the best accessible walks in Pembrokeshire.

The Welsh Wildlife Centre

• Park: Disabled parking outside Wildlife Centre building
• Walk: 3km wheelchair walk to Old Cardigan Bridge
• Toilet: Accessible toilets ground floor in the centre.
• Café: Access to Glasshouse Café by lift (seasonal)

Every season has its place at this wonderful wildlife centre and there is always something going on either in the centre or out in the wetland reserve. Come watch huge flocks of wintering birds, check out the latest willow sculptures, set the kids loose in the outdoor playground or enjoy a cup of tea in the magnificent Glasshouse café. If you’re looking for a space that will have something for all the family this is it.

There are two accessible walkways through the wildlife area, one of which is the wonderful 3km trail through the Teifi Marshes to Cardigan Old Bridge. Remember to bring your binoculars and bird watching book.

Bosherston Lakes

• Park: Car park at Stackpole Walled Mencap Gardens
• Walk: 3.8km return wheelchair walk signposted ‘Grassy Bridge’
• Toilet: Accessible toilet at Stackpole Walled Mencap Gardens
• Café: Accessible café at Stackpole Walled Mencap Gardens (seasonal)

The National Trust woodlands on the Stackpole Estate have been developed to offer a wealth of accessible trails in this beautiful corner of Pembrokeshire.

Park at the Mencap walled garden and head down the road onto the 8-Arch bridge and Bosherston Lily Pond walk. Walking along the ponds you will see a wealth of wildlife, including friendly robins and maybe an otter. The Grassy Bridge is your destination or you can also walk further, although it gets sandy, to a seat overlooking Broadhaven beach. Shady in the summer, sheltered in the winter.

Llys y Fran Country Park

• Park: Llys y Fran car park
• Walk: 2.4km wheelchair walk on Eastern reservoir
• Toilet: Accessible toilets adjacent to the car park and in the visitor centre
• Café: Accessible cafe at Llys-y-Fran centre

Llys-y-Frân is a 350-acre country park set in the heart of the Pembrokeshire countryside. The main focus of the park is its reservoir and its dramatic 100-foot high dam that sends water crashing down into the River Syfynwy. The park is a haven of peace and tranquillity, with a great variety of trees and wildlife, both on and off the water.

From the car park, there is a 2.4km trail around the eastern side of the reservoir, most suitable for wheelchair access, with a children’s playground and plenty of picnic spots to stop and admire the view. Retrace your steps once the path narrows. The path then continues around the reservoir crosses a bridge and becomes more narrow and muddy, with steep gradients in places.

Brunel Trail, Neyland

• Park: Car park at Westfield Pill, under the bridge
• Walk: 6km wheelchair walk signposted ‘Celtic Trail Route 4’
• Toilet: Accessible toilets in Neyland Marina
• Café: Café at Neyland Marina

There is a little gem of a walk out of Neyland marina to Johnston. Originally a railway, used as the western terminus for Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s Great Western Railway, it has been given a new lease of life as a cycle route, forming part of the Celtic Trail Route 4.

You will need to pass through two ‘A’ frames gates near the start of your walk and then you have a clear stretch of tarmac path, gentle gradients and woodland scenery to Johnston. It’s a fantastic route for everyone.

Newport Parrog to Iron Bridge

• Park: Newport Parrog or roadside parking at the iron bridge
• Walk: 0.6miles or 1km
• Toilet: Accessible toilet at the Parrog car park
• Cafe: Cafe Morawelon is right on the Parrog

This lovely Newport walk winds along the River Nevern along a purpose-built rolled stone path making it ideal for scooters, wheelchairs and pushchairs. The path is also used by cyclists and the surface makes it suitable for smaller bikes with stabilisers.

This walk is perfect for birdwatchers with reed beds and mud flats making is a good spot for all sorts from waders and grebes, geese to kingfishers. Don’t forget your bins!
