Elevation

Explore the Carn Llidi

Location: St. David's, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Wales

This challenging 6.3 km route from Whitesands offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of Pembrokeshire's stunning coastal landscape. Starting on the renowned Pembrokeshire Coast Path, you'll soon veer inland, circling the ancient Carn Llidi before a rewarding ascent. This highly unpaved route features significant elevation gain, promising a dynamic and engaging workout amidst exposed terrain.

Ideal for those seeking a vigorous hill training session or an invigorating sightseeing run with incredible vistas, prepare for a rocky scramble near the summit, where an untimed section allows for a pause to truly absorb the breathtaking panoramic views. The return descent through heather and gorse links back to the coastal path, completing a truly memorable and wild adventure.
