The Mosaic trail-head marker, features a map of Pembrokeshire, South Wales, showing the Pembrokeshire Coast Path - The National Trail, in a fine red line. Place names of the start in the North, St Dogmaels/Llandudoch, Towns along the path, & the terminus in Amroth/LLadrach.
The marker also features several logos, Wales Coast Path, Acorn, Footprint, & Pembrokeshire National Park.

The Pembrokeshire Coastal Footpath is a spectacular 186 mile long National Trail covering some of the most varied coastal scenery in Wales. The Coast path takes on average 10 to 15 days to walk. The path stretches from St Dogmaels (the location of this trailhead marker) in the North over 300 km to Amroth in the South of Pembrokeshire.

Limited roadside parking, near trailhead.

Lonely Planet said:
"One of the best long distance trails in the World."


"The Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail hugs the coastline for 186 miles or 299km of some of the most breath-taking coastal scenery in Britain.
From St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south, the trail covers almost every kind of maritime landscape from steep limestone cliffs, undulating red sandstone bays, volcanic headlands, beaches, estuaries and flooded glacial valleys.

Lying almost entirely within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the trail displays an array of coastal flowers and bird life, as well as evidence of human activity from Neolithic times to the present.

Completing the Coast Path in one go, taking on average between 10 to 15 days, is quite an undertaking. The ascents and descent are said to be the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest; 35,000 feet!" Text Source: (visit link)

Northern Trailhead: Dogmaels/Llandudoch
"The quaint riverside village of St Dogmaels is on the northern border of Pembrokeshire close to the market town of Cardigan.

St Dogmaels is significant because the Pembrokeshire Coast Path starts or finishes here, depending on which way you're walking it.
Nearby is the interestingly named Poppit Sands beach." Text Source: (visit link)

Southern Trailhead: Amroth/LLadrach.
Located on the south coast of Pembrokeshire 7 miles east of Tenby and at the start (or end, if you walk it the other way round) of the world renowned 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path. There is a petrified drowned forest ,which reveals itself when the tide is very low. The petrified tree stumps can be seen poking through the sand and they have been dated to the last ice age!"
