Castlemartin Peninsula
The Castlemartin peninsula is south-west of Pembroke and takes in some remote communities such as Merrion, Rhoscrowther and Angle.
This peninsula is served by the Coastal Cruiser, service 387/388 and links all the villages with Pembroke and Pembroke Dock, which also has a railway station. Perfect for anyone walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
Castlemartin peninsula has a long history of military activity. A large part of the Castlemartin peninsula was taken over by the Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) tank range in the late 1930s and further developed during the Cold War period. Today Castlemartin is the only UK Army range available for armoured units for direct-fire live gunnery exercises.
Castlemartin Pound, in the centre of the village, was fitted out with ‘pill-boxes’ during WW2 and used as a machine gun emplacement.
On the medieval castle mound at Castle Farm (privately owned) are the remains of a WW2 Royal Observer Corps post.
