Redevelopment of former industrial areas is transforming the coastline in t
he area of Llanelli, South Wales as part of the Millennium Coastal Park dev
elopment. This includes, as part of the redevelopment, the creation of a li
near cycleway and footpath linking areas of the Park throughout its 22 km l
ength. The Pembrey Link (subsequently renamed 'The Saltings') forms the wes
tern and final section of the Park development and runs through an area of
scenic coastline, which overlooks the Cower Peninsula. As a result of exten
sive consultation and sympathetic design at all stages-concept, environment
al assessment, detailed design and construction-a stimulating section of th
e Coastal Park has been developed. This enables both cyclists and pedestria
ns to experience this dynamic and environmentally sensitive area of the coa
st in safety.
