Walks from your door
Every day you could take so many lovely walks without having to put the dogs in the car or even cross a road! Stride over the fields or through beautiful woodland over the stream and you will find yourself at Ceibwr Bay and can access the Coast Path in either direction.
Ceibwr and Back
Most guests like to get their bearings with a trip down to the cove when they arrive. Go through the 5 bar gate to the left of Cwm Connell House. Take the small gate immediately on your left and follow the footpath down through the wooded valley to the cove. Please put your dog on a lead at the bottom of the path as you pass through the gardens of two houses. Return the same way.
Cwm Connell to Newport
Whichever way you make this walk you are sure to get fantastic views of the towering cliffs and headlands that make up this stretch of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. This is one of our favourite walks and it’s very dog friendly. Make sure to check out the Witch’s Cauldron just South of Ceibwr and take your binoculars to appreciate all the sea birds in the Spring and Summer Months.
Short Loop to Ceibwr Bay
Heading out across the fields below the house this walk is the most direct to the cliffs above the sea. Walking across the fields you are faced with stunning views towards the Preseli Hills and south along the coast to Dinas Head and Strumble Point. Take the path through the flowering gorse down to the cove to enjoy the shoreline, before heading back up hill through the wooded cwm (valley) – a Celtic Rain forest with a wealth of ferns, flowers, trees and wildlife. You’ll emerge back at Cwm Connell – the head of the valley. PLEASE NOTE We strongly recommend that you avoid this route in the Summer months – the fields have cows, the calves are inquisitive and the cows and bulls are protective. Especially if you have dogs which need to be leashed at all times when crossing farmland. Please see alternative route called “Ceibwr and Back” or the “Longer Loop” via Tre Rhys Farm. If in doubt ask us!
Longer Loop to Ceibwr Bay
Follow the bridleway past the Dog Paddock up the ribbon track through Tre-Rhys Farm. Turn left at the farm walking down the hill towards the sea enjoying views towards the Preseli Hills and south along the coast to Dinas Head and Strumble Point. The path drops steeply to Ceibwr Bay where you can enjoy the sea before heading back up hill through the wooded cwm (valley) – Follow the river towards Moylegrove before climbing up to the Penrallt Garden Centre (tea available!). The footpath from Penrallt passes through fields before joining up with the bridleway through Morawelon Farm arriving back again at your cottage from the back track.
Loop North to Foel Hendre
Follow the bridleway past the Dog Paddock up the hill through Tre-Rhys Farm. Walk through the farm and follow the ancient bridleway than runs parallel to the coast. Rich with flowers in the Spring this is a beautiful track with views North to the towering cliffs of Cemaes Head. Follow the footpath downhill to the sea at Granant Farm and don’t miss the waterfalls on your way down. Follow the Coast path South with it’s amazing views and sea birds until you arrive back at Ceibwr Bay. Head back up hill through the wooded cwm (valley) – a Celtic Rain forest with a wealth of ferns, flowers, trees and wildlife.
Loop South to Witches’ Cauldron
Drop down to the coast across the fields below Cwm Connell. Follow the coast path down to Ceibwr Bay and then South past the Moyle to The Witches’ Cauldron (Pwll Y Wrach) – a collapsed cave and now a crater in a hill filled with greeny-blue water, the stuff of local legend! Head inland and find the road heading back into pretty Moylegrove village with it’s typical Welsh stone houses. Follow the river from Moylegrove back to Ceibwr turning right before you reach the cove after the bridge. Climb up to the Penrallt Garden Centre (for lunch or tea!). The footpath from Penrallt passes through fields before joining up with the bridleway through Morawelon Farm arriving back again at your cottage from the back track.
