Millennium Wetland project

Location
Coastal Park, 
Llwynhendry, Llanelli
This 76 hectare site 
is a key part of the 


larger Coastal Park.


The Wetland was reclaimed from poor-quality farmland lying
behind the sea wall originally and now combines habitat
creation with public access, including a wide promenade,
landscape interpretation and art features. All aspects of the
project have a multiple, sustainable use, for instance water
from the adjacent sewerage works is cleaned and recycled,
earthworks are sculpted to contain lakes and to protect
wildlife, the mounds also direct circulation and views. There
are elements of art throughout which act as such things as
viewing platforms, shelters, etc. all using sustainable and
recycled materials.
