In 2017 we, as owners of the Craig y Dinas mineral rights, launched an initiative to improve access to the mine. Initially this in the form of a proposed walkway to reconnect the original mine track. However this was refused under the SSSI designation of the site.
As an alternative we are to investigate the status of a Public Right of Way which for some reason is not shown on Ordnance Survey maps. This Right of Way crosses land of which the owner has shown hostility to anyone venturing on the land for recreational purposes.
Please note that the tarmac road which extends past the car park is a Council public road, although it only leads to the farm.
Our primary purpose is to enable people using our mine for diving be able to easily transport heavy equipment such as air tanks to the mine avoiding the steep up and down climbs that exist on the Craig y Dinas route.

You will need to click on Public Rights of Way and Adopted Roads
I will need to investigate the current state of the path and work with the local authority Right of Way Enforcement Officer. There is also a potential issue regarding the vehicle use of the public road as it only leads to the farm and there could be a turning problem.
I am very grateful to Natural Resources Wales the Craig y Dinas soil landowner for help on this matter.
