WALK: THE PILGRIM’S PATH TO NEVERN VILLAGE OF LEGEND

10 am - 12.30 pm: Few places in Pembrokeshire can claim such a rich history of myth and legend as Nevern. This 3 mile walk explores the riverside woodlands, ancient homes and the mysterious church around the village.

WALKING WITH LIVESTOCK, strumble head

MY FAMILY AND STACKPOLE

WALLED GARDEN -

A RANGER’S TALE

Learn about how the Walled Gardens at Stackpole is used today, and how new life was breathed into them. A very special guided walk. This short walk is around the walled garden, a generally small, enclosed site. The route is across grass and gravel paths.
