Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority Enhances Online Presence to Help Tackle Heritage Crime -

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority has launched a refreshed online presence for Heritage Watch, making it easier for the public to engage with efforts to tackle heritage crime across the region.

Heritage Watch is a collaborative initiative led locally by the Park Authority, working with Dyfed-Powys Police, Cadw, and other partners. The project raises awareness of vulnerable heritage sites, encourages reporting, delivers training, monitors sites at risk, and supports repairs following criminal damage. Stakeholders meet regularly to coordinate efforts and share best practice.

Heritage crime includes any unlawful activity that harms historic buildings, monuments, archaeological sites or landscapes. Offences range from illegal off-roading, vandalism and theft to unauthorised fires, illegal metal detecting, and damage to scheduled or listed sites, all of which may carry legal consequences.
