Track on Wales Coast Path diversion, Pyle
At the time of submission of this photograph, the track seen is one of a series of paths to be used by those walking the Wales Coast Path until the opening of a footbridge across the Afon Cynffig near its mouth and establishment of a path at Margam Moors enable a route on, or close, to the coast to be followed between Kenfig Burrows and Margam. The current, temporary section of the Coast Path between these places – identified as a ‘diversion’ on some maps - takes the walker a considerable distance inland and is approximately six and a half miles long. As well as taking in the track seen here, it passes along the adjoining track seen in

Track, Pyle on a Wales Coast Path alternative route
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.
