A walk on the Preseli Hills, Pembrokeshire
Tuesday, February 12, 2008
Yesterday we went on an 11km walk on the Preseli Hills, Pembrokeshire just west of Newport. The weather was glorious and I got some nice photos, particularly at the end of the walk at around 5.00pm when the sea mist rolled in to engulf Newport. It moved up the hillside towards the rocky backdrop of Mynydd Carningli, before receding like a slow-motion Tsunami.
The walk began at the Bedd Morris car park 1,000 feet above sea level and descended to the sea at Aberrhigian Bay through a network of ancient drovers tracks called green lanes. Some are sunken and flanked by dry stone walls. Many are gloriously muddy and contain streams! From the pebble beach of Aberrhigian Bay the route went along the cliffs half a mile to Aberfforest and then inland for the long climb back to the car
This 4 hour walk was taken from the book Bluestone Country - the Carningli Walks edited by Brian John [ISBN: 0 9524071 0 8].
