Coastwalk , Pembrokeshire Coast Path

Angle → Bosherston

[Thorn Island][Castlemartin Ranges]

Distance: 15.7 miles
Ascent: 601 metres
Duration: 5 hours 16 minutes

Tanks and detours
« Pembroke | Shrinkle Haven »

The weather's still not improved, so in a way I was glad that the Castlemartin Tank Ranges were closed to the public today, forcing me to use the much more weatherproof road surface rather than muddy paths.

From Angle to Freshwater West the path is very plesant, along the clifftops round the end of the peninsula and past the isolated hotel on Thorn Island. Once at the beach though, the red flags and barbed wire begin and it's clear you'll not be seeing the sea again for a while.
