The track seen lies on a stretch of the Wales Coast Path which runs between the south of Kenfig Burrows and Margam via Pyle and is an alternative to walking between the two on the closer-to-the-coast route through the north of Kenfig Burrows and Margam Moors. The idea of the alternative route – which is approximately 11 kilometres long and, like the ‘preferred’ route, marked Wales Coast Path on Ordnance Survey maps - appears to be that it is to be used when weather conditions prevent or make difficult passage along the route via Margam Moors, which is prone to flooding. The gate in the image prevents vehicles travelling further west along the track. Those on foot can continue walking along it by using a stile situated just out of shot to the right of the gate.
