Pembrokeshire

This half-mile walk is unusual as it follows the route of the railway that used to carry coal from Wiseman's Bridge to the port at Saundersfoot. It includes two low tunnels, each about 100 metres long, through the rock on the cliff face. The walk is very suitable for people with various disabilities as it is flat.

From Saundersfoot, walk down Main Street - the main shopping street that runs parallel to the sea. At the end of the road is the first tunnel. There are lights, though these are often vandalised, and the far end is easily visible.

Emerging from the tunnel, you come to the car park adjacent to the beach at Coppet Hall. There are toilets here, and a notice board describing the history of the area.

At the far side of the car park is the entrance to the second of the tunnels and that takes you to Wiseman's Bridge. The under-cliff walk is concrete and level, and there are interesting geological formations underneath it.

This walk can easily be combined with the newly upgraded footpath along the old railway line through the Pleasant Valley to the old iron works. The pictures below show the walk back from Wiseman's Bridge to Saundersfoot.	The under-cliff walk at the Wiseman's Bridge end
