Craig-y-borion offers a secluded woodland valley with less visitors than the nearby Colby woodland gardens. Plenty of woodland flora and fauna to admire along the way.

Set in the lovely Colby Woodland Garden, the Bothy Tea Room makes for a great stop. Serving lunches, cake, coffee and tea and more, it's the ideal place to refuel on a hike. It's managed by a mother and daughter duo, Penny and Sam.

Amroth has a rich industrial heritage; the region along the coast was mined for ore, which was processed to create anthracite coal at the nearby Stepaside iron works. Today, Amroth has a more relaxed vibe and is the first (or last) settlement on the famous Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail. There are a few places to eat and drink, as well as accommodation options, in the village.

Opened in 1849 by the Pembrokeshire Coal and Ironworks Company, the Stepaside iron works were an imporant part of the region's industry. Here, ore collected from the cliffs between Saundersfoot and Amroth would be processed in the blast furnaces and coke ovens. A railway was built to transport anthracite coal to the harbour at Saundersfoot, though it ceased operation in 1939, not long after all activities stopped at the workshops in 1930. Today, it makes for an excellent walk, full of industrial heritage and natural beauty.

This lovely little valley connects the coast path and Wiseman's Bridge to the old iron works at Stepaside. It's particularly beautiful in spring when the wildflowers are at their best and butterflies flit from flower to flower. Walkers, cyclists and horse riders all use this pretty bridleway.
