Footpaths

Our Footpaths Officer liaises with local authorities about all problems with footpaths, and coordinates responses to requests for path diversions and deletions.

If you do experience problems with blocked or dangerous paths, you can report any issues to the local authority.

How do we report problems to the County Council?

They need to know:

  • Your name 
  • Your email address 
  • Details of the issue encountered. A photograph would be useful
  • A 6 figure Grid Reference if possible.
  • The Path Reference number.

Footpath reference numbers can be obtained from the map on:

Footpath Work Parties

In 2019 we worked  with the Council's staff to clear and waymark footpaths.  Two days in the Crychan Forest near Llandovery in January 2019 were a great success!

 The second work party was at Rhandirmwyn, helping to improve footpaths on the RSPB Dinas reserve in February.  It's a beautiful place, with rushing streams and the famous cave of legendary Twm Sion Cati.  We helped to make the path wider and safer for families to use.

 Unfortunately we didn't have enough people willing and able to help in order to continue these work parties.  You don't have to be a Ramblers member in order to do footpath work - just a physically active volunteer.  If you want to help, please get in touch with our Footpaths Officer.
