Highlights

Experience the stunning Welsh coast with a running tour along Pembrokeshire.
Challenge yourself to 190 miles along rewarding rolling hills.
Discover a region rich in archeological treasure.

Description

Roll with the Welsh hills that guard the western coastline along 180 miles of excellent trails.

Run along the extreme edges of Pembrokeshire, always ascending and descending short but steep hills.

The county lies in the southwest of Wales and is home to many award-winning beaches and national parks. The region is geographically diverse where fishing and mining was historically important.

The region’s prehistory has also been extensively studied given its rich archaeological sites, from Neolithic burial chambers to castles.

With our trail shadowing the shore, there’s an abundance of wildlife to spot, especially the barking seals beneath and birds climbing the skies before diving towards the waters.

After each day we’ll watch the spectacular sunset dip below the hills and slip under the sea.

We begin in the village of St Dogmaels in the extreme north of Pembrokeshire. Over the days we’ll be running with increasing length, 28 in the first day, then 35, 36, and 39 miles before our final day of 40 miles brings us to the extreme southern Pembrokeshire village of Amroth.

Due to the long lengths of running per day, it is necessary for potential participants to have a very good level of fitness and stamina.

Get in touch now to reserve your place on a 5-day running tour of Wales’ Pembrokeshire Coast and discover the challenging rewards of its stunning natural beauty.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
