Opened in 1849 by the Pembrokeshire Coal and Ironworks Company, the Stepaside iron works were an imporant part of the region's industry. Here, ore collected from the cliffs between Saundersfoot and Amroth would be processed in the blast furnaces and coke ovens.

A railway was built to transport anthracite coal to the harbour at Saundersfoot, though it ceased operation in 1939, not long after all activities stopped at the workshops in 1930. Today, it makes for an excellent walk, full of industrial heritage and natural beauty.
