Tips
- Keep your dog on a lead in areas of exposed cliff edges
- Take a small container and bottle of water in your bag as some sections have no access to drinking water
- Make sure you check the route before you go, some have stiles with no provisions for dog access, unless you can haul your dog over, you may want to choose an alternative
- If your dog somehow ends up in the water or stuck in mud, don’t go in after him/her – move to a safe area and call your dog, chances are he/she will come to you
- If you’re worried call 999 and ask for the Coastguard
But most of all, have fun! Dogs love a good outing and what better way than walking the out-of-this-world coastline of West Wales?
