A walk through woodland and along a river.

Look out for: Pilgrims Cross, Nevern Church, Celtic Cross
Semi-natural woodland like the Nevern Valley provides ideal habitat for badger, fox, rabbit and weasel. Where the path comes near the river Nevern watch out for otters, and salmon, sea trout (sewin) and brown trout in the river. Heron, dippers and wagtails also feed in the river. Pay a visit to Nevern Church to see the Celtic High Cross and the magnificent yew trees, one of which, the Bleeding Yew, will bleed sap "until a Welshman is once again Lord of the castle on the hill", according to legend. The Pilgrims Cross is carved into the rock on the hill up to the castle remains, about 15 metres from the road

Geraint Dixon has done this walk. He said: "A lovely little village; the churchyard, with its Celtic Cross and bleeding Yew, is beautiful. The Pilgrims Cross is also worth seeing. Lots of trout and salmon in the stream with the occasional heron."
