NEWPORT
- PEMBROKESHIRE
|
Reach
some of the most dramatic scenery in Pembrokeshire with a cycling
break that takes in the national park’s northern coastline, and
the windswept Preseli Hills. Newport is a former fishing port, now
turned over to pleasure boats and holiday makers. The town has a wide
expanse of sand, backed by dunes and is overlooked by Carn Ingli, a
rocky hill with the remains of an iron-age hillfort. The whole area
is full of ancient forts and chambers, and the Preseli Hills are the
source of the famous blue stones of Stonehenge. Take your bike to
visit the medieval castle at Nevern, or the 12th Century Abbey at St
Dogmaels. Or simply cycle from cove to pretty cove.
