Health, Wellbeing, and Community Connection
Age Cymru Dyfed organises these regular outings to encourage physical health, combat rural loneliness, and promote mental wellbeing through time spent outdoors. Walking as part of a friendly group allows participants to tackle coastal terrain at a steady, manageable pace whilst chatting with fellow local residents. Experienced walk leaders guide the route, ensuring the group remains together and everyone feels comfortable along the path.
Practical Tips for Participants
Autumn on the Pembrokeshire coast can bring brisk breezes and changing conditions, so thorough preparation is recommended for all participants:
- Wear sturdy walking shoes or walking boots suitable for uneven, potentially muddy coastal tracks.
- Dress in warm layers, and pack a reliable waterproof jacket and trousers.
- Carry a personal water bottle, a warm drink in a thermos, and energy-boosting snacks.
- Arrive at the Abereiddi meeting point promptly to allow time for registration and a short pre-walk safety briefing.
How to Take Part
The walk is open to local residents and visitors who want to enjoy the great outdoors in good company. While taking part in the walk is free of charge, early registration directly with Age Cymru Dyfed is recommended to confirm spaces and receive final timings, meeting coordinates, and weather-related updates ahead of the day.
