Carn Llidi: The Best hill in Wales?

Watch my walk of this hill and the stunning cloud inversion I had.

Carn Llidi is a 181m hill in West Wales offering great views over Whitesands Bay and towards St Davids. It can be walked from multiple directions and you can mix this route up to suit yourself.

My walk is from a free parking spot on the edge of the road just next to the golf club car park. Room here for around 4-5 cars. I then followed the hill down to the main car park and picked up the coast path, following this until I cut back towards the hill.

The tracks are easy to follow and there are plenty of different ways of getting to the hill, but the main tracks are clear. Once you get near the hill you will see some concrete remains of fortifications and a concrete path up into the rocky top of the hill. Walking here can be challenging and it will require a small bit of climbing to get the summit. However, when the rocks are dry it should be easy enough.

Views are broad, but I walked it during a cloud inversion so didn’t get the full views. I walked back the same time, largely because I was short on time.
