The Gann Estuary high tide alternative route

Follows the Pembrokeshire Coast Path inland around The Gann when high tides make the shoreline impassable. Mostly flat walking along quiet lanes and field edges with minimal incline. Suitable for families and older children, though less ideal for buggies due to stiles and uneven sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. A practical diversion that trades coastal drama for peaceful estuary views and birdwatching opportunities – use when tide times force you off the beach route.

Marloes Peninsula Coastal Walk, Pembroke

National Trust

Traces dramatic Pembrokeshire cliffs with moderate inclines and uneven coastal paths—not suitable for buggies or very young children due to steep drops and rocky terrain. Dogs welcome but must stay on leads near nesting seabirds and grazing livestock. Rewards walkers with stunning views across St Brides Bay, hidden coves, and access to beautiful Marloes Sands, plus excellent birdwatching opportunities including puffins and razorbills during breeding season.

Martins Haven - The Deer Park Walk, Pembroke

National Trust

Loops through National Trust coastal grassland with gentle undulations and one moderate climb near the Deer Park's ancient boundary. Firm paths make it manageable for steady toddlers, though buggies will struggle on the hillier sections. Dogs welcome on leads to protect ground-nesting birds. Short but rewarding – brilliant Pembrokeshire coastal views, wildflowers in spring, and glimpses of the medieval deer park's stone walls without the commitment of longer clifftop trails.
