Cwm is a very picturesque spot to the west of Newport. This tiny bay, where a little stream empties into the Irish Sea, provides a splendid view across towards Newport Sands and the cliffs to the north. It's only a short walk from Newport Parrog to get here and further west is a delightful stretch of coast.

Newport Parrog was once a bustling wool, slate and herring port. Today, it's very popular with visitors to Pembrokeshire and occupies an enviable position on the famous coast path. This stretch can become cut off during high tides, so it's worth checking the tide times in advance.

At the centre of the lovely little Pembrokeshire town of Newport is Market Street. There's still a market here every Monday morning between March and December. The surrounding streets have plenty of great places to eat and drink after a walk along the coast path or up the local "mountain", Mynydd Carningli.

The River Nevern (Afon Nyfer in Welsh) makes a relatively short journey from its source on Frenni Fawr in the Preseli Hills to Newport, where it spills into the Irish Sea. On the estuary, the Parrog was once a busy wool, slate and herring port. Today, you can still expect to see little fishing boats bobbing on the water. On either side of the estuary are gorgeous beaches: the Parrog and Newport Sands.

Newport is an idyllic little town occupying the spot where the Preseli Hills range drops to meet the sea at the River Nevern's estuary. It's well known for its street cafes, art galleries and superb dining, as well as the quality of hiking that can be sought in the region. To the south rises Preseli outlier Mynydd Carningli, a rough and rocky 1,135-foot (346 m) summit that affords spectacular views of the coast and the surrounding countryside.

Lovely swim spot. You can't drive down to this beach so it is pretty secluded and quiet. There is a road but you can't park there just drop offs 😅 lovely little bay on the coast path would highly recommend stopping off for a swim!
