Cycling
Visit Pembrokeshire advises that ‘Pembrokeshire has hundreds of miles of accessible off-road riding on bridleways, trails and forest tracks, just pick up a map and plot your adventure.
Touring cyclists are spoilt for choice with Sustrans’ Celtic Trail West and Lon Teifi Trail. From Fishguard, head south-west and the route hugs the Pembrokeshire coastline revealing wide-open expanses of beach and towering cliffs at every turn. Turn north-east or south-east and it’s into the hills and vales you go with wild landscapes and remote enchanted hamlets with traditions stemming back generations. Choose a route, link it with one or more of the local leisure, traffic-free and family trails, and explore Pembrokeshire at your own pace.
