The Saltings, Millennium Coastal Park

Redevelopment of former industrial areas is transforming the coastline in the area of Llanelli, South Wales as part of the Millennium Coastal Park development. This includes, as part of the redevelopment, the creation of a linear cycleway and footpath linking areas of the Park throughout its 22 km length. The Pembrey Link (subsequently renamed ‘The Saltings’) forms the western and final section of the Park development and runs through an area of scenic coastline, which overlooks the Gower Peninsula. As a result of extensive consultation and sympathetic design at all stages—concept, environmental assessment, detailed design and construction—a stimulating section of the Coastal Park has been developed. This enables both cyclists and pedestrians to experience this dynamic and environmentally sensitive area of the coast in safety.
