Millennium Coastal Path

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Millennium Coastal Path is a 22 km pedestrian walkway and cycleway along the south coast of Carmarthenshire, providing a link between Llanelli and Pembrey Country Park. The cycleway forms a section of both the Celtic Trail cycle route (part of NCR 47) and the National Cycle Network NCR 4.

The Millennium Coastal Path runs through the Millennium Coastal Park. It is a common mistake made mainly by locals in the Llanelli-Kidwelly area to confuse these names. More than 2,000 acres (8.1 km²) of industrial wasteland was remediated to construct the route.[1]

[edit] February 2007 storm damage

On the evening of Monday 19 February, a high tide combined with a high storm swell caused severe damage to a section of the path and cycle route near Burry Port. A 500m section was damaged with complete loss of a 150m section. The damage is expected to take many months to repair. A diversion is in place along the Burry Port relief road.
