One of Denbighshire Countryside Service’s coastline locations has been given a makeover.
Access works have been carried out over the winter on the dunes at Horton’s Nose at the Foryd Harbour in Rhyl, to create a boardwalk with viewing platform, as well as interpretation boards.
There are also tactile discs around the site where people who are visually impaired or children to take rubbings from them. This site is owned and managed by Denbighshire Countryside Service.
Toni Proffitt, Denbighshire’s Coastal Access Officer, said: “The viewing platform gives people a place where they can go and see Rhyl from a different angle as well as a view of the whole of Denbighshire and Snowdonia on a clear day. It is a place that feels very natural but yet next to a town.
“This site is home to many plants and animals including the common lizard which burrows and basks in the marram grass and open sand patches. Other species found are sky larks, burnet moth and cormorants, common terns and oyster catchers can also be seen along the water’s edge”.
The access works is part of the All Wales Coastal Path, where Conwy and Denbighshire meet. The Coastal Path works are funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Countryside Council for Wales.
The opening of Horton’s Nose is taking place on Tuesday 18th May 11am.
