Walks from the campsite

To Carn Llidi Summit
Carn Llidi is the igneous intrusive gabbro rock which dominates the skyline approximately 1km north west of the campsite. This route avoids the sometimes busy B4583 beach road, passes by the youth hostel and Upper Porthmawr. The final part of the walk is a moderately difficult scramble before summiting at 181m.

Carn Llidi Descent
Either retrace your steps or take the most direct route down by following paths made by the wild ponies, straight down the south western flank. Sturdy boots and tough trousers are recommended for protection from the prickly gorse!

Carn Llidi and St Davids Head
