Path Near Penlan Oleu Once the main track to the settlement of eight cottages, it is now only accessible to walkers but one gets the feeling that it is quite ancient. Bounded on both sides by large boulders (some are quite immense). On the horizon is the sea and the harbours of Fishguard and Goodwick

Former Royal Naval Armaments Depot, Trecwn This huge complex formerly housed the Royal Naval Armaments Depot and has extensive underground storage bunkers.  It played a key part in the Second World War, and, it is said, was never found by the Luftwaffe.  It closed in the 1990s and has now been taken over by a company who hope to attract new businesses to the site.
