"The award-winning Millennium Coastal Park in Carmarthenshire, which cost some £30m, is losing huge chunks to the ocean.
A combination of high tides and storms have now seen a major section of the park, about a quarter of a mile long, slip into the Burry Estuary, which is notorious for its strong tides.
The latest incident at the park, which has been a huge tourism success with some 500,000 visitors per year, took place last Monday, when a 400-metre stretch of cycle path near Burry Port was destroyed by waves.
A "freak" 8.4 metre-high tide was blamed, as well as violent waves caused by Atlantic storms."
