The bus journey was entertaining in itself, a lady driver who hurtled round the narrow lanes at great speed. Once in Amroth we walked along the promenade to the start of the Pembrokeshire Coast path which was a little disappointing to say the least, just a sign post pointing the way with the mileage on it, 186 from Amroth to St Dogmeals.
The beach was a bit bleak with breakwaters along it and the scenery was nothing like we had experienced on previous walks. The path went up through the trees onto the cliff top and then along a track to Wiseman's Bridge. From here the path follows the route of an old colliery railway and you have to go through three tunnels before arriving in Saundersfoot. The first one was quite dark although you could see the light at the end as you went along.
By the time we arrived in the bustling town of Saundersfoot it was time for a lunch break and a sit on the prom watching the sailing dinghies racing in the bay. There is a lovely sensory garden in the centre full of lavender and rosemary bushes.
On leaving Saundersfoot the path climbed steeply up through woods and there were glimpses of lovely sandy bays through the trees. There were plenty of ups and downs on the way to Tenby some of them quite challenging. We met up with Ray and Jackie en route who had taken the bus in the other direction to Lydstep and were walking to Amroth, quite a challenge.
Once back in Tenby a cup of tea was the priority and after checking out Molly's tea room and finding it derelict we went to St Theresa's tea room for welsh cakes and tea and then I spent some time in Tenby looking around and bumping into other CHA members. They get everywhere!!The day stayed dry and sunny on and off but was quite cool later on
