Moylgrove Road Loop

Route Overview & Local Insights

The Moylgrove Road Loop offers a quintessential Pembrokeshire running experience, spanning 10.9km of paved, quiet country lanes. This anticlockwise circuit is characterized by its rolling terrain, featuring a total ascent of 156m that provides a moderate challenge without being overly technical. Runners can expect a "hilly" profile typical of the Welsh coast, with steady climbs that reward you with sweeping views of the rural countryside and the brisk, salty air of the nearby Irish Sea. It is an ideal distance for those looking to push beyond a standard 5k while enjoying a smooth, consistent surface underfoot.

Nestled within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Moylgrove (or Trewyddel in Welsh) is a charming, secluded village steeped in history and natural beauty. This area is famous for the nearby Ceibwr Bay and the dramatic "Witches' Cauldron" geological feature. As you run this loop, you are traversing an ancient landscape where the sea meets traditional Welsh farmland. The route captures the peaceful, remote essence of North Pembrokeshire, making it a favorite for local runners who thrive on solitude and the rhythmic sound of their pace against the backdrop of one of the UK's most stunning coastal regions.
