Castlemartin Royal Armoured Corps Range, Incoporating Linney Tobruk Shelters, Frainslake

Anti Invasion Defence Site; Firing Range

What is recorded here

Frainslake and Linney still hold the shape of that military bargain: flat open ground for tanks to scream across, concrete shelters to crouch inside when the screaming stopped. Build that much distance and steel, and you are admitting the danger was real enough to waste land on. Whether the range kept a coastline alive or only gave men a reason to keep watch is no longer easy to separate.
