WALKING IN PEMBROKESHIRE CIRCULAR WALKS IN THE NATIONAL PARK Dennis and Jan Kelsall JUNIPER HOUSE, MURLEY MOSS, OXENHOLME ROAD, KENDAL, CUMBRIA LA9 7RL www.cicerone.co.uk About the Author Both native Lancastrians, Dennis and Jan Kelsall have long held a passion for countryside and hill walking. Since their first Cicerone title was published in 1995, they have written, contributed and illustrated over 50 guides covering some of Britain’s most popular walking areas and have become regular contributors to various outdoor magazines. Their enjoyment of the countryside extends far beyond a love of fresh air, the freedom of open spaces and an appreciation of scenery. Over the years Dennis and Jan have developed a wider interest in the environment, its geology and wildlife, as well as an enthusiasm for delving into the local history that so often provides clues to interpreting the landscape.

This is a reflection of the passion emanated by its people for their county, and barely a walk went by when we did not meet somebody quietly eager to impart their local knowledge, point out secluded corners or the best place for a view and relate tales of local happenings that never appear in the history books. Such enthusiasm is infectious and greatly added to our own enjoyment in undertaking this project. Although too numerous to mention individually, even if we did know all their names, we would like to express our thanks to everyone who offered us help in one way or another, from the benefit of their knowledge to a welcome cup of tea on a hot afternoon. We would particularly like to thank the staff of the national park and the County Council for their generous advice and practical assistance, and for their ongoing work in making the countryside and coast accessible.
