The scenery is beautiful. Walked from Penally on path at r/h side of golf course to the path down to Bubbleton farm shop and cafe. Took about an hour, had lunch at cafe then return walk. Good views of Caldey and St Margaret's Isles. Lots of climbers on the cliffs. Livestock roaming free in some sections. Lots of gates.

started walking from newgale and it’s very hilly - these reviews are making it seem like a gentle walk but as someone who is not a big hiker and am only doing it because i’m in wales it is hard work. hard work pays off though because we stopped at a beach and there are beautiful views

Absolutely gorgeous and absolutely hardwork!! It’s a VERY up and down, up and down hike. Lots of steps and got very steep at certain points. But worth it, as everytime you come back up you see a new view 10x better than the last. Not sure if it’s like that for all of the trail but definitely is if you start from Newgale.

Great walk with some of the most amazing views. The path is quite hilly so it can be difficult in some places but other than that this is a great thing to do if you in the area.
