Pembrokeshire County Council has given an update on the landslide-hit coastal path connecting Coppet Hall to Wiseman’s Bridge, which is due to reopen this week.

“Following works on the coast path between Wiseman’s Bridge and Coppet Hall/Saundersfoot, the path known as the Tramway, which experienced substantial rock falls late last year and in January, will reopen on 7th August. Many thanks for your patience!” said a spokesperson for PCC.

Pembrokeshire Council has said previously that the work to stabilise the cliffs and tunnels so that the path can be re-opened was likely to cost around £600,000.

At the March meeting of PCC’s Cabinet, members backed the works, with a hoped-for finish date of the start of the summer holidays.

However, the council the went onto say that those works had been delayed until early August “as a consequence of additional works required, including the occurrence of another landslip along the path,” with additional remedial works needed.
