Stretching 1400km (870 miles) from Chester to Chepstow, including Anglesey, the waymarked trail takes 2-3 months to complete but can easily be broken into shorter sections. The walking is generally not difficult, although there are occasional rugged sections, steep ascents and descents and more remote stretches with fewer facilities. Promising fantastic scenery and a unique insight into local history and culture, what better way to experience the diversity and beauty of Wales' captivating coastline? The route is presented in 57 stages, ranging from 16 to 32km, each featuring clear route description illustrated with 1:100,000 mapping, overview statistics and notes on the availability of accommodation, facilities and public transport links. You'll find plenty of helpful advice for planning your walk, plus background information on Welsh history, geology, plants, wildlife and local points of interest. A facilities table, Welsh glossary and useful contacts can be found in the appendices. Passing through the Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks, as well as numerous AONBs and sections of Heritage Coast, the Wales Coast Path takes in seaside resorts, attractive fishing villages, sandy beaches, rocky coves and striking cliff coastline. Highlights include the picturesque Llyn and Gower peninsulas, 13th-century 'Iron Ring' castles and frequent opportunities for wildlife spotting. The route can be linked with Offa's Dyke Path National Trail (covered in a separate Cicerone guide) to complete a full circuit of Wales.

Download or read book Seaside Donkey a Wayward Walk Around Wales written by Lucy Ridout and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hannah has never owned a creature larger or more lively than a stick insect, which might explain why she thinks that roaming round the thousand-mile circumference of Wales with a donkey will be me meditative and tranquil. It won't be of course. Hannah is an optimist, but frightened of the dark, the quiet, and above all, the responsibility. Chico is keen and strong, but wholly untrained and deeply unconvinced about Hannah. And Wale's epic coast path has 410 stiles and 783 kissing gates, each one unnavigable to a donkey. Seaside Donkey is a funny, refreshingly unsentimental, and often alarming story about mismatched companions, and the power of being bold and living simply. Chico's charming presence serves to break down barriers, sometimes literally and it turns out that being tethered to a donkey yields a surprising wealth of unsolicited wisdom, sometimes painful and always profound.
