Walk the Pilgrim Way: Reconnect in North Pembrokeshire

Tucked away in the wild beauty of North Pembrokeshire, Newgale Lodge offers the perfect base for a journey not just through stunning landscapes—but through time. This is a place to reconnect: with nature, with heritage, and perhaps most importantly, with yourself.

A Route Inspired by Ancient Saints

The Wexford–Pembrokeshire Pilgrim Way is more than just a walking route. It’s a path steeped in history and legend—following in the footsteps of St David, the patron saint of Wales, and St Aidan of Ferns. These two Celtic saints are said to have shared a spiritual connection across the Irish Sea, and now, centuries later, you can trace that ancient link yourself.

From Ferns to St Davids—A Celtic Connection

The route begins in Ferns, County Wexford, and leads all the way to St Davids, the smallest city in Britain. With the Rosslare–Fishguard ferry bridging Ireland and Wales, it’s easier than ever to hop across the sea and explore the rich Celtic history that connects these lands.

Whether you choose to walk the full length of the Pilgrim Way or simply take in segments while based at Newgale Lodge, the journey offers a sense of peace, purpose, and place.

What You’ll Discover

Along the way, you’ll experience:

Breathtaking coastal paths and quiet inland trails
Sacred sites, chapels, and medieval churches
Charming towns and villages with welcoming locals
Ancient landscapes full of myth and meaning

You don’t have to walk every step to feel the presence of history. The route is accessible by foot, car, or bus, making it ideal for a spiritual retreat or a scenic long weekend.
