Pembrokeshire coastal path landslides prompt another closure

The beach-side coastal path, known as the Tramway, was previously closed after “substantial rock falls” in late 2023 and early 2024.

Last March, Pembrokeshire council’s cabinet backed works expected to cost about £600,000, with an initial expected finish date of the start of the school summer holidays.

But reopening was delayed until early August due to another landslip along the path, with additional remedial works needed.

Local councillor Chris Williams hit out at “selfish” path users at the time, saying he believed they were putting others at risk by repeatedly cutting open safety barriers and fencing while the repair works were being carried out.

Barriers and warning signs were put in place at the entrance to the first of the two tunnels which lead from Coppet Hall to Wisemans Bridge, along with fencing on the Wisemans Bridge side which was later vandalised.

A gate was then put in place on the Coppet Hall side.
