Today was our shorter walk today - about 12 km - from Pembroke to Herbrandston, Milford Haven. We caught the bus for a trip to Milford Haven to start our walk which took us around the coast, past the oil docks. We saw one of the ferries from Ireland come in plus a large oil tanker. The scenery was lovely once we cleared all the industrial sites. The path was like a goat track, very narrow and up and down but manageable. In Milford Haven, we looked in an art gallery with some lovely paintings and prints - very tempted to buy one or two but the thought of having to carry them in my already full backpack put me off that idea.
When we reached Sandy Haven the tide prevented us from using or even seeing the stepping stones, and the beach was virtually none existent. We powered on through to Milford Haven along the windy and sometimes steep roads, stopping at the pub for a quick drink. The B & B is called Fields Lodge and it is absolutely beautiful. I met the owner's dog called Ollie who is lovely. I should write a dog blog ;)
Tonight we will have a meal at the pub - it is a 30 second walk away.
Tomorrow we have a 16 km walk to Marloes, depending on the tides!
