What is recorded here

The Castlemartin Range is a modern firing range in Pembrokeshire, Wales, where military training and environmental protection share the same land. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path crosses it from Trevallen Gates to Castlemartin Pond, passing ancient fortified sites and white stakes that mark the boundary between public walk and closed training ground. People may enjoy the coast, but they must keep to the path, avoid unknown metal objects, and respect the danger of live exercises hidden beneath the beautiful scenery.
