The youth hostels of Wales: YHA Pwll DeriMany will be familiar with the Pembrokeshire Coast Path which has been in existence for many years and is served by a chain of youth hostels including YHA Pwll Deri, pictured above. This wonderfully situated cliff top hostel has benefitted from major refurbishment projects in recent years.
Always worth a visit, the coast path is especially splendid in spring when the wild flowers which are a particular feature of the area are at their best. New Wales Coast Path set to openA major event taking place in Wales in 2012 is the opening of the Wales Coast Path.
