An exciting new website invites us all to get out into the fresh air and enjoy one of Britain's finest walks, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail. These days, access is much easier for everyone. Over the past year, National Park Authority staff and contractors have removed more than 70 stiles. Many have been replaced with gates wide enough for wheelchairs. The new Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail website is brimming with information to help walkers make the most of their visit. It gives full details of the stretches of the 186-mile long footpath which are easy to access. There's an easy to follow guide to planning a walk along the trail. It's split into sections, with maps and photographs of what to see on each stretch of the walk. The National Trail website also outlines the history of the landscape crossed by the path, from Neolithic cromlechs to a stone marking the site of an abortive landing by a French force that became known as the 'Last invasion of Britain' in 1797. National Park Authority chairman Clr. Simon Hancock commented: "The new Coast Path National Trail website should inspire more people to visit Pembrokeshire's magnificent coastline. It will make planning a walk along the trail much easier, and be an invaluable guide to those who need easy access." Opened in 1970, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path was the first National Trail in Wales. It offers walkers spectacular coastal scenery and wildlife, and 85 per cent of the trail is within the boundaries of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is funded by the Countryside Council for Wales and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.
