Embark on the Pembroke Castle to Broad Haven South loop, a moderate road cycling adventure spanning 35.2 miles (56.7 km) with 1623 feet (495 metres) of elevation gain. This route typically takes about 2 hours and 29 minutes to complete. You will cycle past the impressive walls of Pembroke Castle, then along the stunning Pembrokeshire coastline, where you can expect rugged cliffs, golden sandy beaches, and secluded coves. Be ready for some challenging climbs, with gradients reaching up to 20% on sections towards the coast, though much of the route features well-paved surfaces.
To start your ride, head to Pembroke Castle, a prominent historical landmark. The route follows quiet country lanes, offering picturesque views. While much of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is open for cycling, be aware that some sections, particularly near the Castlemartin Firing Range, are restricted outdoor spaces. However, cyclists are welcome to pass through, providing a unique sense of wildness and remoteness on your journey.
This loop is known as the most popular road cycling route around Pembroke, offering a rich blend of history and natural beauty. You will experience the dramatic coastline that defines the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only UK national park primarily designated for its spectacular shores. The trail also provides glimpses of ancient landscapes and historical sites, including the birthplace of Henry VII at Pembroke Castle, making it a varied and engaging ride.
