The way points of this bicycle route:
I rode this Summer 2006 - made it up as I went along - so could be improved
Head out of town to reach the end of the cycle trail to Neyland. I rode Freemans Way cos I didn't know the town - I wouldn't recommend it!
Turn West off the roundabout along the small road - it leads to a dedicated cycle/pathway that eventually takes you up the valley & on to the old railway track.
Pick up the old railway line towards Roseland and Neyland, then leave it onto the road to your left, up the hill.
Leave the road to take the bridleway on your left
Near Johnston, by now the old railway line should be open to take you thorugh the village and on towards Roseland
Downhill all the way to Neyland
Through a nature reserve, very quiet alongside the estuary
Fine view across the Cleddau Estuary to the bridge and Pembroke. from here retrace your steps a while. This was the original terminus of Brunel's railway to the Atlantic. Notice boards give a lot of information about the project.
Turn right across the bridge here and follow the road up the hill.
Turn sharp right
Turn right
At the end of the road turn down the track past a house called Cudlic, follow the track over the hill, lovely & quiet
You could take a detour to the end of the road if you have the ebergy!
Turn right onto the road - this is busier
Turn down the road to the waters edge, good views from Port Lion
Right on the beach here - you can walk/cycle round the headland, or take the road over the hill.
Here you can follow the beach again round to the road beyond Llangwm. If you'd rather not, take the road north.
Here you'll probably have to go left then right, as the farmer has blocked the track to the north.
From here a bridleway due north probably means carrying the bike - I didn't try it.
Here it's more interesting, and longer, to turn right down the road, and you'll need to carry the bike down by the water.
There's a stile and a path to your left, carry the bike & push for a short while until you reach the track up the hill
Turn left now & follow the road. There were coal mones around here once, believe it or not.
You could go down the hill to the coast here - but I wasn't sure what I'd find - more carrying the bike?
Head into the National trust car park and follow the track that circles down the hill to the right
Laft, turn up the road towards Haverfordwest
This is the main road and quite busy
Turn right into the housing area on Clay Lane
You'll take a bridge over the railway and main road
Here you can follow the road downhill, on the pavement as it's one way uphill. Otherwise turn left and follow the streets to return to the start.
At the bottom of the hill follow the river back into town - and the end!
Welcome to Bikely, take a step by step tour of this path:
Press Start Tour - then use the navigation buttons below to move along the path.
I made this up as I went along - so could it be improved.
An easy-ish 25 miles along a disused railway line to Neyland and then winding back around the coast of the Cleddau Estuary. A bit of carrying the bike if you wish.
