Four stiles on a very popular circular walk route at Saundersfoot have been removed - making it much more accessible for the less-able walker and dog walkers.
In their place now, courtesy of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, are two gaps and two kissing gates which match in with similar gates already on the route.
The walk takes in the sea-front, the former Incline and Black Walk dram roads as well as woodland and fields and St. Issell's Church.
"There's a lot of industrial heritage in this area, including the harbour, dramways, bell pits and the site of a sawmill," said Park ranger, Tim Jones. "A small wooded area was once a pond which was used to power the sawmill.
"It is very accessible for walkers of all abilities, although a couple of stone steps, which cannot be removed, and a bumpy woodland section do not make it wheelchair-friendly."
This circular walk, of just over two miles, has been added to the long list of 'web walks' on the National Park Authority's website http://www.pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk">www.pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk. A map of the route can be downloaded from home computers and is also available as a paper copy at tourist information centres.
The National Park Authority is grateful to the landowners, Mr. Pocock, of Penniel Farm, and the Hean Castle Estate, for their help and co-operation.
