There are fears that a cliff overlooking one of the most popular beaches in Wales could become unstable because of a rat ‘infestation’ which is seeing large numbers of rodents burrowing and tunnelling into the rocks.
Concerns have been raised about a big problem with rats in the Castle Hill area of Tenby, which overlooks the Pembrokeshire seaside town’s Castle Beach and South Beach. You can get the latest WalesOnline newsletters e-mailed to you directly for free by signing up here.
Local councillor Michael Williams said he had been notified of the potential issues and had passed on concerns to the appropriate department at Pembrokeshire Council. Speaking to the Tenby Observer, Mr Williams said: “The rodent infestation is so considerable at Castle Hill that a large area of the cliff appears to have extensive tunnelling by rodents, which make the cliff appear unstable.”
