(Photo © Natasha Lough, CCW) 1 Welsh seascapes and their sensitivity to offshore developments No: 42 Regional Seascape Unit Taf, Tywi and Gwendraeth estuaries Name: Seascape Types: EHMR Key Characteristics Rounded, coastal, rural hills enclosing two picturesque estuaries and providing the backdrop to the third (Gwendraeth). Historic rural villages with castles commanding views of the estuaries at Laugharne, Llansteffan and Kidwelly. Rural pastoral coast and hinterland with prominent deciduous woodlands on steep slopes and conifers and dunes to the south east. Two enclosed estuaries and the third more open with mud, sand and saltmarsh, particularly south of the Gwendraeth. Key views from hills, historic settlements and railway. Key cultural associations: Large historic landscape covering both land and sea, extensive SSSI. The setting for the poet Dylan Thomas’s cottage. Physical Geology Devonian Lower Old Red Sandstone defines the coastal hill landscape with Ordovician Characteristics measures inland. Wind blown sand lies over millstone grit and coal measures to the south east. Boulder clay lies on valley sides with alluvium in the valley bottoms. Coastal landform Rounded hills rise fairly steeply to around 130m AOD from the narrow valley floors with lower undulating landform further inland. The Taf and Tywi rivers form major sinuous valleys through the hilly landscape. Low sand dunes to the south east enclose the extensive muddy Gwendraeth estuary. Coastal landcover The greater part of the estuary sides are rural with pasture dominating, but with some arable land extending to the estuary edge. Mature deciduous woodland cover on the steep slopes are prominent elements. Saltmarsh lies in areas of deposition, particularly south of the Gwendraeth. Rural settlement includes the picturesque villages of Laugharne and Llansteffan (with their castles) and the more functional settlements of Kidwelly (but also with a historic castle and port), and Ferryside to the east, lying on the main railway line to Carmarthen. The latter forms the coastal and estuary edge in parts. Most settlements avoid the most exposed parts, apart from a caravan/chalet site north of the Gwendraeth. Intertidal area Mud and sand in the higher reaches of the estuary giving way to sand in the lower reaches. The saltmarsh is occasionally flooded. Characteristics of sea Estuarial with strong tidal flow and high suspended solids content. A series of narrow channels is exposed at low tide. Owing to its orientation, the estuary is only moderately exposed to the prevailing winds- the Tywi more than the others. Hinterland landform Rounded hills rise fairly steeply to around 130m AOD in the coastal area with lower undulating landform further inland to the north. Pembrey is low lying coastal plain to the south east backed by hills on the edge of the coalfield plateau. Hinterland landcover Rural landscape of pastoral with some arable, and scattered farms and some nucleated settlements usually in the valley bottoms. Lighting Carmarthen is the largest concentration of lighting with the rural settlements contributing some degree of lighting, but generally the area is moderately dark. Use Land/coast uses The coast is used for agriculture, settlement and generally low-key leisure (caravan sites). Sea uses The sea is used to a limited extent for leisure craft including sailing boats. Visual and How the seascape unit Settlements; the main line railway; minor roads; public footpaths. sensory qualities is experienced Degree of intervisibility The coastal hills limit visibility of the sea from inland in many places. However, there is of land and sea wide visibility up the three estuaries from the two sand bars of Cefn Sidan Sands and Laugharne Sands to south east and west respectively. Views of the estuaries themselves are from adjacent valley sides. Key views to sea and Laugharne, Llansteffan and Kidwelly including castles; the main line railway. along the coast 2 Welsh seascapes and their sensitivity to offshore developments Key views to land Views limited to occasional yachts. Tranquillity/rem- The Taf is the most tranquil owing to the limited access, with the railway line skirting both oteness/wildness the Tywi and Gwendraeth estuaries. However, the area is tranquil overall because of its rural character. Sense of scale Medium Openness/ Moderately enclosed, but very open at the seaward extent enclosure Diversity Diverse Exposure Exposed, reducing inland. Key cultural Historically, the estuaries of the Taf and Tywi Rivers were strategically important, with associations castles controlling the land and seascapes at Laugharne, Kidwelly, Llansteffan and (inland) at Carmarthen. Towns with coastal fortifications are now largely culturally concerned with tourism (e.g. Laugharne with its contemporary cultural associations with Dylan Thomas and Richard Hughes literary figures). In addition to the very large Taf/Tywi registered landscape covering both land and sea, the seascape of Carmarthen Bay and the estuaries is extensively designated as a SSSI – both registration and designation being highly important, though invisible, cultural expressions. Forces for change Land/coast Development pressure on rural settlements. Climate change and sea level rise on settlements and infrastructure such as the main railway line.

  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

This document provides the Welsh Government’s Report to the National Assembly for Wales on the Marine Protected Areas network, in response to recommendation 10 of the Environment and Sustainability Committee’s Marine Inquiry. Recommendation 10: By the 31 December 2013, the Welsh Government should voluntarily lay before the Assembly a report that meets the requirement of section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. This report should include an appraisal of the environmental status, governance and enforcement of existing marine protected areas. 2. Section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (the Marine Act) requires the Welsh Ministers to lay a report before the National Assembly for Wales on the extent to which it has achieved the objectives in the Marine Act to use conservation sites to contribute to a UK network of marine protected areas. The report must cover further steps needed to meet the network objectives, as well as specific details on any Marine Conservation Zones that have been designated. 3. The network objectives as detailed in section 123 of the Marine Act are that European marine sites (Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas), Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Ramsar sites form a network which contributes to the conservation or improvement of the marine environment in the UK marine area; where the features which are protected by the sites comprised in the network represent the range of features present in the UK marine area; and recognises the conservation of a feature may require the designation of more than one site.

  • Plants (1MB, Pdf)
    CARMARTHENSHIRE NATURE RECOVERY PLAN – VASCULAR PLANTS Environment (Wales) Act 2016 – Section 7 - Biodiversity lists and duty to take steps to maintain and enhance biodiversity The plant species listed in this table have been identified by Welsh Government as part of a list of species and types of habitat found in Wales that they consider are of key significance to maintain and enhance biodiversity in this country. This list (S7 list) is currently under review by WG and Natural Resources Wales. Public authorities (e.g. WG, councils) must take reasonable steps to maintain and enhance the species and types of habitat included in Section 7, and encourage others to take such steps. By safeguarding these species and habitats, improving their management and raising awareness about them it is hoped that a resilient natural environment in Wales will be sustained into the future. Please refer to www.brc.ac.uk/plantatlas/ for more detailed information about the species listed below. We hope we have included all the S7 species found in the county but errors may occur!
