Tips from the Community
Get to the car-parking early as it is very limited. Some cars have to park on steep slopes, the level parking fills up first. There are public toilets open at peak times

This lovely road skirts around the edge of Neyland, hugging the Milford Haven estuary. Neyland, once a small fishing village in Llanstadwell parish, transformed in 1856 when it became the western terminus for Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Western Railway.

Roch Castle is now a luxury hotel, but back in the 12th century it was somewhat less accommodating. Built as one of the outer defences of the Landsker, separating Norman-held areas to the South from the Welsh held area to the North. It has a commanding position meaning that it can see, and be seen for miles around.

Great place to stop for a picnic with benches and views across St Brides. There is a car park just next to here and you can also pick up the coastal path here
