Walking around Pembroke

Inside the walls, castle circuits and Main Street lanes are compact enough to cover on foot between hotels and the Quay. The Mill Pond path gives water views under the battlements without leaving town.

For open coast, head east on the Coast Path toward Freshwater East and Barafundle (roughly 2–4 miles depending on turnaround), or west toward Angle for a remoter tip. Take layers — Pembrokeshire weather turns fast on the cliffs.
