Pembrey Country Park

[Woodykat]

Just been googling to try and work out where best to park the lorry (been a long time since we last took the horses there) and I've seen that the forestry commission now requires horse riders to have a permit!

Is this true?? And if so how much are they and how do you get hold of one?

Any tips re parking would also be great - if I remember rightly I think we parked in a small area before the gates where you have to pay to enter the park?

Thanks in advance. Oh and anyone who wants to join me is welcome - It'll be sometime in the week between Christmas and New Year (advance planning!!)

Best place to go is onto the carmarthenshire riders forum
they're the best to ask

Thanks Sarah, will do.

I've also contacted the forestry commission who told me that a years permit costs £50! I only want to go as a one off! So he suggested that it might be cheaper to go through Jacky at the riding stables - what does he mean by this does anyone know - can she give out day permits?? I'm not paying to ride one of her horses (as lovely as some of them are, I know, I did my work experience there years ago, in the days that Dave ran it!).

Does anyone actually police the permits anyway?
