"The Journey is the Reward" - Taoist Saying

The St Davids Walk is a 400 km (250 mile) walk from St Davids Cathedral at the South West tip of Wales to Bangor Cathedral in Gwynedd, North Wales. It visits the best coastal scenery and the best mountain scenery in Wales, offering a unique opportunity to see both the Pembrokeshire National Park and the Snowdonia National Park in one walk. The map below shows the new route together with existing Welsh long-distance footpaths.
