Dale Fort Field Centre

Built in 1856 for military use (protection of Milford Haven) it has been owned by the Field Studies Council as a field centre since 1947. The entire kilometre square is the centre and used by many 1000's of students each year. 70% of the students are A Level biologists working on the nearby shores to understand ecology.

Great Castle Head

Great Castle Head from the bottom corner of the wall that is just inside this grid square at SM 847 059. I think the brickwork that can be seen must be the remains of a pill box.
