Between Angle and Pembroke

This stage is easy walking and mostly on the flat.

From Angle the path skirts East Angle Bay, numerous estuarine inlets and sheltered bays which are a haven for wildlife, so pack binoculars and a bird book.

The route then takes in the industrial side of Pembrokeshire, past the refineries and finally meanders alongside the Pembroke River and into the town.

The finale to this stage has to be Pembroke Castle. This magnificent castle dominates the town and is the birthplace of Henry VII and the Tudor dynasty.

Key Information

Route:

From Angle village, cut through the children’s playground and take a look at The Tower House, a medieval fortified tower
Turn right, over the bridge, and go back to the road
Turn left along a superb tree-lined lane that hugs the edge of East Angle Bay
Continue on the path, through the woods, when the road runs out
While you’re walking around the bay, keep an eye out for curlews and other waders
On the far side of the bay, you pick up another tarmac lane that you follow round to the Chevron refinery, which may feel incongruous amongst such lush countryside, but it’s fascinating nonetheless
You pass Fort Popton, built to protect the Royal Navy port at Pembroke Dock in Napoleonic times
The path now heads a little inland past Pwllcrochan Church. Stop to take a look at the boardwalks & interpretation there
The path now meanders around the edge of the estuary, partly on and partly off the road until you reach Pembroke
If in doubt, follow the acorn symbols that indicate where the route goes

Accessibility

While Pembrokeshire offers a range of scenic walks for all abilities, not all paths are guaranteed to be fully accessible. If you or someone in your group uses a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or pram, there are still plenty of accessible routes, viewpoints, attractions, and beaches to enjoy.

For the best experience, plan ahead by checking accessibility guides or contacting local organisations, such as the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the Walkability Project. Many beaches also offer concrete ramps and Beach Wheelchairs for easier access.

Please ensure you gather relevant information in advance to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
