Capilla San Govan – Freshwater West a Freshwater East, walks and hiking in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
I'm not saying give us the same summer or winter, but, who we like the sea, we do not mind the time of year to approach a beach to watch the immense ocean, walk along the sand, breathe the air so characteristic that brings the sea breeze and enjoy, definitely, the space between heaven and earth where we feel maybe small but full.
He Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, in Gales It offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature as well as discover the history through their cultural heritage such as castles, iglesias, cathedrals and the typical architecture of each city.
The park has the "Camino de la Costa" (Pembrokeshire Coast Path), which runs along the coast from North to South Park, starting from near Poppit Sands Beach until Tenby Y Saundersfoot, through the Cardigan Bay (Ceredigion in Welsh), St. Davids, Martin Haven, Dale, Milford Haven, Pembroke among its main cities.
This path can be done by sections because it is very extensive to pretend to walk it the same day from North to South. The first tranche for example, from the north near the camping Alltycoed until bay Ceibwr it would take 1 hour 50 ', 6.5km walking. A little further south, on the Bay Newport it can be covered a stretch of about 3,2 km along the coast, we realize it would take almost an hour. Of course the views from all the way are wonderful.
In addition to the stretches of road on the coast, There are also roads inside the park very attractive for walkers. Such as linking the bay Ceibwr with Bahía Fish Guard with 1 km internal travel.
In the last sections of Coastal Road, between Freshwater West Y Freshwater East, We find several tour options both along the coast and internally. In that area several cities and towns succeed, among them Bosherston Y Buckspool a little more towards the coast.
Walking through this area can be very pleasurable, not only because of the natural surroundings and the beautiful views but also because reaching the coast and the coast itself under the cliffs will discover a small chapel, St. Its progeny chapel which we got down to little more carefully 50 steps.
The small chapel dating from the eighteenth century and parts dating from the sixth century, It has a single ship 6 m 4 m. It is a limestone building, own place. Its slate roof is after the original construction. According to a letter indicating the same, San Govan He is buried under the altar. On the west side stands a bell.
The chapel seems trapped between the cliffs which gives a special particularity. Lose those little more 50 steps is part of the adventure, It gives the feeling that we move into cliffs themselves os. After visiting the small chapel which will not be too long due to the dimensions of the same, you can get out of it and walking on rocks a little closer to the coast and admire the wonderful views that we have seen from above, when we agree on the cliffs.
Fantastic experience, since in the tour of the park, the cliffs, beaches, the coast, the nature and the discovery of this small chapel is an extra experience to walk, it is also very interesting and particularly.
If we get to the chapel directly there is also a bus arriving properly to the vicinity. Bus 387 Y 388.
It is possible from there, on the cliffs, continue the walk following the Coast Road Nature Park or penetrate in any of the paths or routes proposed by the park, where it will not be uncommon to find sheep or other animals grazing in green meadows. If we choose the coastal path, It is highly recommended down to the beach Barafundle, one of the most beautiful in the area of Pembrokeshire.
Nearby you can visit the Bridge 8 Arcos, on Fish Pond, neighbor Stackpole, Bosherston, a picturesque bridge in the middle of nature that can be arrived on foot by a lush and beautiful very interesting way to fully enjoy the ride. Bordering the pond we can see numerous swans and other species swimming in its waters as well as beautiful flowers and aquatic plants. It is a very good option to walk for hiking and appreciate nature.
He Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, as I said at the beginning, has many natural and cultural wealth which, worth while to take a walk so plan to use it optimally and prioritizing our interests in each area.
