Walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path – Newport to Ceibwr

There’s no stopping us now – on Thursday we headed north-west to our friends’ house just above Ceibwr bay, then drove them back in Ian’s open-top car (hopefully thus avoiding virus transmission) to Newport, then all walked back to Ceibwr. As always, when walking with friends I am much less observant of my surroundings; walking with Ian doesn’t have the same effect! So apart from mentioning that this section has a pleasant estuary, a big beach which we failed to photograph and then soaring cliffs with some extremely long steep hills both up and down, and interesting tales of drug smugglers, I will let the photos and captions do the rest of the talking. Just under 9 miles.

Crossing the river Nyfer at Newport Iron Bridge
More estuary
Back across to Newport and Carn Ingli
There’s a seal pup on the rock platform, just to the right of the cave
Looking back to Dinas and Strumble
Steep cliffs and inlets, explored by what seemed to be a pedalo
The path clings to the cliff edge, and you can see where it drops right down in the distance
Approaching the Witches’ Cauldron – a collapsed sea cave where the path goes over the bit of cave that hasn’t collapsed. Extraordinary.
The seaward side
And the landward side
The headland just before Ceibwr, with Cemaes Head in the distance – and nearly the end of Pembrokeshire. One more walk…
