New Newport walking route officially opened
--
A new North Pembrokeshire footpath that gives walkers a chance to see a variety of landscapes including oak woodland and meadows, as well notable local landmarks including Carningli, Newport Sands and Dinas Head was officially opened on 12 May.
The Llwybr Pwll Cornel route was created in 2021, following a collaboration Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority staff, volunteers and Members and with the permission of the local landowners Mr and Mrs Evans of Berryhill Farm and the owners of Llwyngwair Manor, who kindly permitted the establishment of the path over their land.
The new 1.1 mile-long stretch of footpath is named after Pwll Cornel, the corner pool on the River Nevern (Afon Nyfer) that the path overlooks.
National Park Authority North Area Ranger, Richard Vaughan said: “The route was created by Authority Wardens and Rangers with a great deal of support from a small army of volunteers from a variety of local groups.
“The woodland section of the walk has some steep gradients, but the walker is rewarded with some great views of the estuary, Carningli and the coastline down to Dinas Head.
“As well as being an enjoyable short walk in its own right, it also provides links to the wider network of public paths in this area, giving people the chance to add this route to their usual walks.”
The work was funded by the Welsh Government’s Access Improvement Grant.
