Circular walk from Solva to St Elvis and Dinas Fawr (36)

This series of photos portrays a 2-mile circular walk east and south of Solva, Pembrokeshire.

Initially, the walk climbs out of the valley of the River Solva onto The Gribbin, a knife-edge ridge between the glacial valleys of Solva and Gwadn. The walk then descends to a marshy area before climbing inland to farmland. Near St Elvis Farm, the walk passes a cromlech (a neolithic burial chamber) then heads to the coastpath and turns west to follow the clifftop. After descending into Gwadn cove, the walk climbs to rejoin The Gribbin before descending into Solva. The route can be followed on OS 1:50000 sheet 157 or on OS 'Explorer' 1:25000 sheet OL35.

Having crossed the Gwadn valley and climbed steeply, the walk emerges on top of The Gribbin, half-a-mile southwest of the point where it crossed the ridge at the start of the walk. The route now follows the clear footpath along the top of the ridge before descending into Solva (visible to the left in the distance).
