Pokemon Go players are urged to be careful playing the game along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority is asking people to respect the safety advice given to all people who walk the popular Path.

National Trail Officer Theresa Nolan said: “We would urge anyone who walks the Coast Path to read the Coast Path Safety Code to ensure they are prepared for the challenges the route presents.

“Those who are distracted by games such as Pokémon Go or use the Path for other activities such as running may not be aware of the difficult terrain, cliff edges, livestock and any other hazards they may encounter. It’s also important to be aware of other walkers as you may need to stop to let others pass.

“The Coast Path and the extensive network of inland paths in the National Park provide a great opportunity for people to discover a new adventure, but we would encourage people to take time to appreciate the amazing scenery around them, especially as the maps on Pokémon Go don’t do the Pembrokeshire Coast’s world-class landscape justice.”

The National Park Authority’s sites and centres are also featured in the game with the Oriel y Parc Gallery and Visitor Centre site in St Davids being home to both a Pokestop and a Gym.

With the Newport National Park Visit Centre, Castell Henllys Iron Age Village and Carew Tidal Mill are also points of interest on the map.
