West Coast Beano – 7 days

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, on the far west coast of Wales, has one of the most spectacular coastlines in Europe. An ancient and powerful landscape dotted with pre-historic standing stones, and steeped in Celtic and Arthurian legend.

Tantalising glimpses of the sea are revealed as we cycle along quiet lanes to picturesque fishing harbours, towering cliffs pounded by Atlantic breakers, and sandy beaches where we can swim.

Our rides visit the surfing beaches of Whitesands and Newgale, Carreg Samson pre-historic cromlech, the medieval cathedral village of St. David's, and the wild seascape of Strumble Head.

We stay at Cuffern Manor, an 18th century manor house situated just three miles inland from the vast sweep of Newgale beach, in north Pembrokeshire. Three acres of secluded grounds, include a walled organic vegetable garden. Accommodation (3-star) is in single, twin, and double bedrooms (2 are en-suite). There is also camping space in the walled vegetable garden.

On the optional cycle-free day you could take a boat trip around the RSPB wildlife reserve of Ramsey Island, walk along part of the dramatic Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, or spend the day on the beach.
