Day 18 - Freshwater East to Stepaside 68mls

Not quite the day of sunshine and heat we were promised but it was dry so we decided to explore the Stackpole estate. This is a huge area of National Trust property that encompasses wooded areas, lakes and coastal land. We walked to Barafundle beach, which is supposed to be one of the best in Britain. Having seen the beaches of Scotland, I would dispute that, but it is nice and only accessible on foot.
Also had a view of Broadhaven beach before heading back to the van for a well earned bacon and egg sarnie. Saw lots of dogs on the walk and Taz only attacked one collie so that was not too bad!
As we set off for Tenby the rain started. By the time we got there it was really raining, but not to be put off we donned the waterproofs and headed into the walled town. Would have liked to see it in dry weather as it looks an interesting place with its narrow streets and pastel painted cottages by the harbour. Did not make it to the headland castle as my umberella turned inside out five times as we attempted the walk.
A quick coffee before deciding to look for out next stop.

After finding our chosen site in Saundersfoot full, we pull into Pleasant Valley, Stepaside for what is to be our last night on Welsh soil.
