Cliff horses removed after more than 100 years in grazing rights row
National Trust Cymru said it had "at no stage" asked for the horses to be removed
Horses which have grazed the cliffs of a coastal beauty spot for more than 100 years have been removed following a row over grazing rights.
The decision to take the animals off Rhossili Common in Swansea follows months of disagreement, after concerns were raised about visitor safety and the number of horses grazing the National Trust-owned common.
Rob Morgan, who runs Rhossili Sunflowers and Gower Fresh Christmas Trees, shared the news in a video posted on social media.
He and fellow farmer Nicky Beynon said they faced increasing "pressure" from National Trust Cymru, which said the decision to remove all the horses was "entirely his" and "at no stage" had asked for the horses to be removed.
The National Trust, which owns the land, was "reviewing" the number of animals grazing the land to ensure visitor safety, animal welfare and the area's ecological health.
Last year it said the number of horses needs to be reduced in line with the grazing limit.
It said there had been issues with a stallion on the cliffs who had repeatedly escaped through a pedestrian gate.
"He pushes his way through visitors on to the road, car park and into the village.
"This is why we are concerned about not only public safety but the horses' welfare."
