Pembrokeshire Coast Path walks off with accolade of being one of world’s top trails

IT MEANDERS 186 miles along spectacular beaches, hidden coves, cliff tops and through ancient monuments.

And now the Pembrokeshire Coast Path has been named one of the greatest hiking trails in the world.

The West Wales gem, which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, ranks in the top 10 list alongside Peru’s Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, the 2,150-mile Appalachian Trail and the 19,336ft climb up Africa’s highest peak Mount Kilimanjaro.

Pembrokeshire’s latest accolade follows a similar honour last year when the county’s beaches were named among the best coastal destinations on the planet.

The area came in joint second behind the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada, tying with New Zealand’s Tutukaka Coast in a list compiled by National Geographic.

Third Star feature film lead role for Barafundle Bay

One of the most beautiful beaches in Wales takes centre stage in a new film whose writer-producer grew up nearby.

Third Star features Benedict Cumberbatch – best known as Sherlock Holmes in the recent BBC TV version – making a last visit to Barafundle Bay.

“ Each day to wake up to the beautiful craggy cliffs, the nooks and crannies, the rolling hills and the wide sandy beaches, was pure bliss for film-making.”
