Dyffryn Arms (Bessies) Pub Walk_Pontfaen
I'll be honest about this one: the walk is something of a token gesture, wrapped around a pub that would justify the trip on its own!

Every entry on this site needs a walk to go with it, and the Gwaun Valley — steep-sided, thickly wooded, and one of the prettiest folds in the Pembrokeshire landscape — offers far more route options than most places, for every taste and ability. I've simply picked a straightforward 3.5 miles that climbs the wooded slopes on either side of the valley while keeping Bessie's close for most of it.
The route sets out on a level, well-marked path through the woodland of Allt Pontfaen, before continuing into the neighbouring Allt Cwm-du. From there it crosses the Afon Gwaun itself and climbs the opposite side of the valley through Allt Pen-Gegin-Uchaf, gaining just enough height to looks across the valley for views of the Preseli Hills and its Golden Road.
There are many shorter or longer and more challenging walks throughout the Gwaun Valley, including routes exploring the Preseli hills and the coast. This walk has a simpler purpose: to enjoy one of Pembrokeshire's most beautiful valleys before settling down for a pint in a pub unlike almost any other.
