Letter: Problems of walking in Pembrokeshire
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: It was interesting to read about the problems East Nolton Riding Stables are having on Druidstone beach, Pembrokeshire ("Tide turns against riders on the sands", 2 September).
They are as nothing, however, compared with the problems walking visitors and local people have had with the landowners over more then a decade: an illegal diversion of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path (a National Trail) down a dangerous cliff without prosecution; intimidation of walkers on other public paths, including turning back path surveyors; no signs or waymarks on the paths and riding horses illegally down a public footpath on to the beach.
Of more relevance than the plight of the horse riders on the beach is why the local authorities, including the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, have not taken resolute action to protect and assert the rights of the public to the use and enjoyment of any highway.
