Car-Free Self-Guided Walking Holiday

Arrive into Fishguard harbour by train and use the local service buses and coastal shuttle buses to reach even the most remote areas of Pembrokeshire’s wild coastline. Preseli Venture’s meticulously planned holiday itineraries eliminate the hard work of lining up the bus timetables, so you can focus on enjoying the moment.

Your comprehensive car-free holiday guidebook is overflowing with local knowledge, covering everything you need to know to help your no-car adventure flow seamlessly from start to finish. You’ll be clued up on how to order groceries and freshly prepared meals right to your door, where to eat out within walking distance, what to pack for your full list of activities and much more.

Accommodation

You’ll be staying in Preseli Venture’s low-carbon self-catering accommodation, nestled on the gentle slopes of the Abermawr Vallley, just a short walk from the quiet sand-and-shingle beach of Abermawr and the Pembrokeshire Coast path, making it an ideal spot for exploring on foot.

Opening its doors in 2024, the Eco Barn is Preseli Venture’s latest addition to their sustainable accommodation complex, a characterful and spacious Dutch barn conversion that sleeps up to 8 people. Offering soul-stirring floor-to-ceiling views, its lofty upper level leads onto a balcony overlooking the surrounding woodland and the wild North Pembrokeshire coastline beyond.

Currently being refurbished, two of the iconic marshmallow–pink Courtyard Cottages next door are due to be launched in 2025. There will be a one-bedroom cottage bookable by Easter, followed by a four-bedroom cottage in August. Early 2026 will see the launch of a further one-bed cottage.

On this 5-day walking holiday, you’ll cover some truly cinematic stretches of the North Pembrokeshire Coast Path between Newport and Solva, via the Pencaer and St David’s peninsulas where the panoramic views are unsurpassable.

Preseli Venture’s walking guidebook tells you the mileage for each day, which buses to catch and when and where to eat en route, whilst also enriching your experience with information on historical landmarks and wildlife to look for along the way. This is a dream-come-true for independent explorers who want the treasures of local knowledge. There are two itinerary options of varying difficulty called the “Pilgrim’s Path” and the “Unwinding Way”, and you can even decide to do a combination of the two.

This is a walking holiday with a difference: if lugging a full pack around every day and stopping off at a different hostel or B&B each night sounds like hard work, you’re in the right place. It’s a relief to know you can leave all your belongings securely in one place and simply carry a day-pack.
