Which walk suits me? Walks are classified using the symbols below:
Island walks aren't advisable for the elderly, infirm or children under 5
and the islands aren't suitable for wheelchairs. No dogs are allowed on the
islands.
Castlemartin walks allow access on to the MoD Range. They are
mostly Grade 3 walks and are not suitable for children under 11. No dogs
allowed.
Do I need to book? Events which need to be booked are clearly marked
`BOOKING ESSENTIAL' and a phone number is given.
Alternatively you can book in person at the National Park Information
Centres at Oriel y Parc in St Davids, also in Newport and Tenby.
What if the weather is bad? Leaders will always turn up at the event
start point and will decide whether or not the event can go ahead.
If BOOKING ESSENTIAL events have to be cancelled due to bad weather we
will try to contact you. If you haven't heard from us and the weather looks
bad, phone your booking number.
How much does it cost? Where we have to charge we try to keep the
National Park fee as low as possible, and you can have even this waived if
you travel to the event by public transport - just show your bus or rail ticket.
