Millennium Coastal Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Millennium Coastal Park was originally a project undertaken by Llanelli Borough Council to transform a 20km stretch of industrial wasteland on the south Carmarthenshire coast in to green parkland. The project was then taken over by Carmarthenshire County Council after the amalgamation of Welsh local authorities and aims to transform the land into a recreational area for the general public. Although many parts of the park have been finished and open to the public for a while, the development of new facilities continues in forms such as the expansion of Burry Port marina and the construction of housing and lesiure complexes at Llanelli's North Dock.

The park offers stunning views of the Gower Peninsula on the other side of the Loughor estuary. Running though the park is the Millennium coastal path (a stretch of the Celtic Trail cycle route, also known as National Cycle Route 4).
