Angle Bay is a picturesque natural harbor located in the county of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Situated on the western side of the Milford Haven Waterway, the bay offers stunning views and a peaceful environment for visitors to enjoy.

The bay is surrounded by rolling hills and rugged cliffs, creating a scenic backdrop for its sandy beach and calm waters. The beach itself stretches for approximately 2 kilometers and is a popular spot for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking. At low tide, the shallow waters reveal extensive mudflats, providing a habitat for a variety of bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers.

Angle Bay is also home to a small village called Angle, which sits on the eastern side of the bay. The village has a rich history, with evidence of settlements dating back to the Neolithic period. Visitors can explore the historic St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 13th century and offers insight into the area's past.

For those seeking outdoor activities, Angle Bay offers excellent opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing. The calm waters and scenic surroundings make it an ideal spot for water sports enthusiasts of all levels.

Overall, Angle Bay provides a tranquil and idyllic setting for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty and rich history of Pembrokeshire. Whether it's relaxing on the beach, exploring the village, or partaking in water sports, there is something for everyone to enjoy in this charming bay.

Back to Nature Don't know what used to be on this site. It's fenced off with barbed wire. Looked like it might have been military though it could also have been to do with the nearby oil refineries.

Former refinery pier, Milford Haven Pier that supplied the closed Exxon refinery. Much activity here now, including work on pipes. Unsure if demolition work or that the pier is now used by another enterprise. Stack Rock fort in the distance.

Old refinery pier Pipe sections on the old Exxon refinery pier. There is a lot of work going on here, floating cranes, hard hats swarming over the remains of the loading pier. Not sure if it's being demolished, or used for another purpose. My guess is that these sections are awaiting offloading. Milford Haven is a very fine deepwater harbour, hence the oil industry. A pier like this could find new uses, but as there is nearly 3km of it, upkeep could be a problem without the backing of "Big Oil".

Ancient Tower, Angle This ancient tower is next to Castle Farm on a track to the rear of the village of Angle. It is a few years now since I visited it. It is (or at least was) open to the public and I was able to look around inside including climbing stairs to an upper floor and there are some informative plaques. Despite this I have been able to find nothing about it on the web. The tower is just north of the gridline and the photo was taken from practically astride it by my estimation. See also a close-up of the tower here <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/478401">SM8603 : The Tower, Angle</a>

The Tower, Angle A close-up picture of the <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/478398">SM8603 : Ancient Tower, Angle</a>. The tower is on a track that runs roughly parallel and to the north of the main lane through the village of Angle. It is situated next to Castle Farm, though I think this structure was never more than a fortified house as opposed to a castle.
