Embark on the Solva to Pointz Castle loop, a moderate hike that guides you along rugged coastal paths and through peaceful woodlands. This route offers spectacular views across St Brides Bay and towards the Marloes peninsula, especially from the View of Dinas Fawr. You will cover 5.5 miles (8.8 km) with an elevation gain of 423 feet (129 metres), typically taking about 2 hours and 24 minutes to complete. Keep an eye out for seabirds like fulmars soaring above the cliffs. In summer, the cliffs come alive with vibrant sea thrift and campion, adding splashes of color to your journey.
To start your adventure, head to Solva village, where parking is generally available for hikers. Be aware that some sections of the path can become muddy after rain, so wear appropriate footwear. While the route is mostly straightforward, it does include short, steep climbs and descents that require some effort. Always exercise caution, as parts of the trail run close to unguarded cliff edges. Planning your visit for a clear day will ensure you get the best views.
This loop is a highlight within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, known for its diverse landscapes. You will experience a blend of dramatic coastline and sheltered coves, alongside tranquil inland sections. The trail provides an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Welsh coast. It is a rewarding experience for those looking to explore the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path without committing to a full day's trek.
