Transport Strategy

St Dogmaels Active Travel and Connectivity Improvements

  • Creation of an approximately 460 metre Shared Use Path connecting Feidr Fach footway with a new Shared Use Path and a counter lever boardwalk onto Pilot Street. (Red Route)

Why are we proposing these changes? 

St. Dogmaels is one of the more popular tourist destinations within Pembrokeshire with locals and visitors visiting the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. The village has grown around its historic routes and is characterised by narrow roads, often with limited footways for pedestrians. Parking is a challengewith most residents parking on street or in limited parking areas through the village. This can lead to additional pressures on the network in terms of traffic flow and pinch-points additionally pedestrian movements throughout the village are constrained by a lack of sufficient infrastructure.

The aim of the proposal is to:

  • Create a safe Active Travel Link between St Dogmaels and Poppit Sands
  • Improve road safety for pedestrians and cyclists
  • Encourage socially inclusive active travel for all types of journeys including tourism and leisure
  • Reduce the levels of car dependency, reducing carbon footprint, pollution and congestion
  • Improve the environment, health and social wellbeing of the community
