Meet the team
Manager recommends: Walk the section of coastal path that runs in either direction, with great views on a clear day and fantastic wildlife - Pembrokeshire at its best! Or walk from YHA Newport Pembrokeshire to YHA Poppit Sands - named the New Zealand of the Northern Hemisphere, the northern end is the highest and most dramatic section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Along the route you’ll encounter seriously impressive rock formations such as the cliff folds and collapsed cave around Ceibwr Bay. Beyond that, Cemaes Head is the best place to spot seal pups in autumn. Turn the corner and the Teifi Estuary comes in to view. The area’s home to bottlenose dolphins, porpoise and, for the night, you.
