Marloes Peninsula — Circular Coastal Walk
West Hook Farm is situated on the Marloes Peninsula within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, forming the westernmost tip of the southern shore of St Brides Bay.
Try this moderate 5-mile circular walk that starts at the campsite and follows the coast path, also exploring some inland trails across Marloes Mere. Download a PDF of the route details and map.

Martin's Haven — the Deer Park
Just 10 minutes' walk from the campsite, the Deer Park was originally part of the Kensington estate of St Brides but has never actually contained any deer. Instead: seals (pups in autumn), heather, wildflowers, spectacular rocks, sea views, and sightings of most of Pembrokeshire's islands.
Birdwatching at Marloes Mere
Marloes Mere is a great place for birdwatching, especially for waterfowl and birds of prey in winter. Walk down the lane from the Marloes Sands car park and stop often to look across the wetland. Two hides overlook the mere where you can sit quietly and wait for things to happen.
