Haverfordwest - Neyland - return  
by richardcooper

The way points of this bicycle route:

Haverfordwest

I rode this Summer 2006 - made it up as I went along - so could be improved

Haverfordwest

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

Johnston

Near Johnston, by now the old railway line should be open to take you thorugh the village and on towards Roseland

Rosemarket

Downhill all the way to Neyland

Through a nature reserve, very quiet alongside the estuary

Neyland

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.

Llangwm

Here you can follow the beach again round to the road beyond Llangwm. If you'd rather not, take the road north.

Llangwm

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?

Little Milford

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

Lower Frestrop

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!

Route Details

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.
