Saundersfoot Railway

It opened on 1 March 1834 and within a few years it comprised a small network of over 4 miles (6.4 km) along the coast from Saundersfoot to Wisemans Bridge and on to the collieries at Stepaside and Kilgetty, and later, running inland to Thomas Chapel near Begelly.

The tramway, which consisted of two main mineral lines and a number of small branches, originally used horses to pull up to three laden wagons along the tracks.

The route, left the main line at Coalpit haul, (Now known as Coppet hall), passed beneath the GWR station through a tunnel at King's Moor.

However, the South Wales Railway did not attempt to build their Pembroke branch, so construction of the Tenby and Saundersfoot line was not started.

The tramway was relaid with flat bottom rails on wooden sleepers allowing a locomotive to be used on the line to Stepaside.

However, only seven years later, due to financial considerations and the workings becoming exhausted, the railway finally closed on the eve of the Second World War.

The section of the route that follows the coastline from Saundersfoot to Wisemans Bridge is now a 4 miles (6.4 km) part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
