The wards of the Kilgetty Begelly Community Council (KBCC) cover Kilgetty (Cilgeti), Begelly (Begeli), Thomas Chapel and Reynalton. For many years spanning the 19th and 20th Century the area was known more for its industrial connection with coal mining. This is remembered today through the Miners Walk which follows the route of the former Saundersfoot Railway line (often horse drawn) which was bui
lt around 1830, to carry the coal. Now the area is a well-known tourist destination, there being popular caravan sites, B&B, Hotels and many cottages available as a base to see the beautiful countryside and beaches that Pembrokeshire has to offer. The wider area being central to so many beaches and tourist attractions, including Folly Farm, Oakwood, Bluestone, Heatherton, Manor House (Anna's zoo) and many others. KBCC is continually aiming to improve the area. Task and Finish Groups are working on long term improvement plan for all the open space areas within its ownership. Begelly Kilgetty Community Association is continually working to maintain the delightful Community Garden nearby and there are many flower beds for residents and visitors to enjoy. Volunteers are keenly welcomed by the association. KBCC is always looking to source copies of old photographs of Kilgetty, Thomas Chapel, Reynalton and Begelly, check out the Council’s page.
