Walking in Pembrokeshire - Kilgetty

By: Peter Sparks  

Kilgetty - A walk through Woodland and countryside tracks – about 6 miles

Start at Kilgetty Tourist information Centre (TIC) just off the A 40 by Kilgetty roundabout - there is parking and a local bus stop at the car park.

1. From the TIC walk about 400 yards into the village, past the Co-op store and under the railway bridge. The road begins to rise then just as you go over the rise and start to descend, there is a footpath sign on your left (just before a road sign to Sardis).

2. Take this footpath (the miners walk) until you come to a cottage where you pass in front of the cottage to the right to a stile.

3. Over this stile then cross a meadow, following the edge of a wood to another stile, cross this into a coniferous wooded area.

4. Walk 100 yards to a way marked junction and take the left path uphill, climbing with a bank on your left for about 500 yards to a stile.

5. Cross this stile and carry on through the woods crossing a small brook and a stile. Walk about 200 yards to the edge of the wood and another stile.

6. Cross this and follow the left hand hedge to join a sunken track. Follow this track for about 900 yards to Penrath Farm.

7. Walk through the farmyard crossing two stiles close together then follow the right hand hedge for 200 yards to a stile.

8. Over this than along a short sleeper bridge to another stile, over this there are some breathtaking views of bracken covered hillsides.

9. Follow the left hand hedge downhill for 200 yards into a valley, cross a small stream then turn right walking uphill for some 200 yards to a way mark sign on your left.

10. Fork left here, uphill to a Farm cottage. Pass through a metal gate into the yard and then follow the track away from the cottage and after 500 yards through another farmyard. Keep following this farm track for until you meet the road by the railway bridge.

11. Turn right to go over the bridge and walk for about 800 yards to meet a main road.

12. Turn left for 100 yards to a way marked stile on your right. Cross this into a small field. Opposite, there are two sets of gates. Access to the left hand set is over a stile. Follow the right hand hedge until it ends. Then go ‘straight on’ across the sloping field to a stile on the far side.

13. Follow the left hand hedges of two small fields to reach Bramblehill Farm. At the farm, turn right following the farm track for 500 yards to meet a lane.

14. Cross the lane to a stile onto a path through immature woodland leading to a stile into a meadow. Over this stile and follow a path diagonally left to the bottom corner of the meadow. This path now leads into a wooded area beside a stream.

15. Follow this path for about 500 yards past the ruins of an old mill then 200 yards to a lane. Cross over the lane to a stile into another field.

16. Go over a sleeper bridge, straight over a field to a stile. Cross this stile straight across the next field to another stile. Cross this third field to another stile that leads into a sunken lane.

17. In the lane, turn right then immediately left onto a track flanked by banks and hedges. You are now on the bed of an old railway line for the next mile or so.

18. Follow this track, passing under high voltage power lines to a stile. Stay with this track for about a mile. You will pass four stiles on this track alongside farm gates (which may be open or closed).

19. After about a mile there is a way marked track off to the right through a tree covered lane. Follow this for about 900 yards, keeping ‘straight on’ until you meet a tarmac road on the outskirts of Begelly.

20.Turn left and walk straight on for 800 yards past The Begelly arms and the Kilgetty roundabout back to the TIC car park where you started
