Aberaeron Coastal Defence Scheme
In 2009 a £5.35m coastal defence scheme was completed at Aberaeron, Ceredigion. The following changes have been made to the existing coastal defence scheme:
- Replacement of the existing groynefield with 9 new timber groynes
- 2 new additional rock groynes
- Large (3-6 tonne) rocks were placed within and along the rear of the beach to provide a hard revetment backstop
- New concrete access steps & a vehicle access ramp
- A low concrete promenade wall in front of Glanymor
