Top 10 Walks: South Wales Coast: Pub Walks

Walks to the best pubs along the South Wales Coast

by Julia Goodfellow-Smith The comfortable, friendly and often upmarket pubs along the South Wales coast complement the walking on this superb stretch of the Wales Coast Path. Each walk incorporates a section of the Wales Coast Path, and starts and finishes close to a great, carefully selected pub. Combined, they cover the very best stretches of South Wales’ coastline, one of striking contrasts and wonderful surprises. The easy, circular pub walks take in the South Wales Coast between Tenby and Chepstow, including parts of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and the Severn Estuary - as well as Swansea and Cardiff. All the pubs are situated either right on the coast or a short hop inland — some in coves and harbours, some in the dunes or close to clifftops, others almost on the sand — and the majority are open all day. With the pubs often open all year and the walking good in all seasons, the South Wales Coast is quite rightly a year-round destination.
