Join us for an incredibly varied and unforgettable half-day guided walk that takes in the most spectacular natural landmarks of the Pembrokeshire Coast.

This 6.5-mile circular route is a journey of sheer coastal wonder, starting at the tranquil, historic Bosherston Lily Ponds before heading out to the dramatic, towering limestone cliffs of the coast.

The highlight for many is stepping onto the golden sands of Barafundle Bay—regularly voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world—and standing atop Stackpole Head looking out over the turquoise waters.

With an expert guide leading the way, you can leave the map behind, turn off your “worry brain,” and fully immerse yourself in the scenery and the stories of this magnificent landscape.

Is This Walk For Me?

This list will help you decide if the Bosherston Lily Ponds & Barafundle Bay Guided Walk is the right adventure for you:

• You want to experience the tranquil beauty of the Bosherston Lily Ponds and the world-famous Barafundle Bay in one incredible half-day walk.
• You are comfortable walking 6.5 miles on varied terrain, including flat lakeside paths, sandy beaches, and some uneven coastal steps and cliff-top paths.
• You want to see dramatic coastal features like Stackpole Head, Saddle Point, and Broad Haven South without worrying about navigation.
• You want the confidence of a guided walk where all route-planning and safety are handled for you, allowing you to enjoy the day with a friendly, social group.

The Journey

We begin at the Bosherston Lily Ponds, walking alongside the tranquil waters originally created in the 18th century.

After a short, peaceful stroll, we will cross the iconic 8 Arch Bridge—a beautiful stone structure offering one of the area’s best photo opportunities.

From here, we follow the Stackpole Wildlife Walk through open fields to Stackpole Quay, a sheltered cove and former limestone port.

We then join the Pembrokeshire Coast Path for a spectacular clifftop section leading down to Barafundle Bay. Accessible only on foot, the bay remains wonderfully unspoilt.

After crossing the golden sands, we climb the opposite steps and follow the coast to Stackpole Head, where towering cliffs drop dramatically to the sea below.

We will take in the incredible views at Saddle Point before descending toward the vast expanse of Broad Haven South Beach. Finally, we head inland, following the serene waters of the lily ponds back to our starting point.

Guidance You Can Trust

From beginning to end, your safety, happiness, and sense of fulfilment are paramount to us. We will be imparting knowledge of the whole area and pointing out the best sights and hidden coastal features as we go.

Your adventure will be led by Paul Steele, founder of BaldHiker. With 17 years of British Army experience in navigation and outdoor safety, you are in the most capable hands.

We take the strain of logistics, route planning, and safety management completely off your shoulders, so you can simply enjoy the walk.
