The path follows the boundary of Chapel Bay Fort and Museum to join a tarmac road (grid ref. SM859036). Continue ahead onto a gravel track. Continue past a cottage and shortly after leave the track bearing left onto the signed coast path. Continue through a gate and follow the path between trees to pass through two more gates. The view across Milford Haven opens again on your left.
