The Wales Coast Path footbridge over the River Kenfig/Afon Cynffig
A view of the bridge from the north. Following the opening of the stretch of the Wales Coast Path between this spot and Margam (in, one internet source suggests, March 2014) the bridge can now be used by those wishing to walk that Path. Prior to this, and for some time after the construction of the bridge especially for the Coast Path, those wishing to progress along the Path had to take a long detour inland and did not pass this way.
Wales Coast Path
The Wales Coast Path (Welsh: Llwybr Arfordir Cymru) is a long distance footpath which follows the whole of the coastline of Wales. It opened on 5 May 2012, and offers a 870 mile long route from Chepstow in the south to Queensferry in the north.
Wales is the first country in the world to provide a dedicated footpath along its entire coastline. The Path runs through eleven National Nature Reserves and other nature reserves, including those managed by The Wildlife Trusts or Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
