A Welsh council has commissioned a commemorative structure to mark the beginning of Wales’ coastal path walk - but many passersby have said it looks like a baked potato. In March Monmouthshire County Council paid £6,000 to install the artwork which is supposed to resemble a pebble.
The gleaming pebble, created by artist Michael Johnson and which reads “croeso”, was officially unveiled on Monday, March 27 by television presenter Iolo Williams and former National Poet of Wales Ifor ap Glyn to mark the tenth anniversary of the path.
Monmouthshire council celebrated the unveiling with various videos on its social media channels. In one of the videos Iolo explains how the pebble is accompanied by a sound box which tells visitors about the path.
