What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ben Blanche as Wreck from the Modern period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Ben Blanche was a coaster that sank in 1897 near the coast of Wales after striking a rock. No lives were lost, but the vessel was lost with its cargo; its wreck is now a protected site under the National Monuments Record of Wales.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
