Mullock Bridge

Harri Tudur marched across Wales to the Midlands, gathering troops along the way, to defeat Richard III at Bosworth Field in 1485. One of Richard's allies, Sir Rhys ap Thomas maintained his integrity here as he had promised the King that Harri would enter Wales "only over his body". By hiding under the bridge duly kept his promise!

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.

Lime Kilns

These 2 lime kilns are a little overgrown so are difficult to make out here. They are not shown on the OS map but are across the road from the car park at SM 808 066.
