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.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castlemartin Training Area; Castlemartin Range as Firing Range; Military Training Site 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.
Castlemartin Training Area, also known as Castlemartin Range, was established by the British military in the 20th century for artillery training and firing exercises. It is important as a long-standing military site used extensively during both World Wars and the Cold War, reflecting the strategic significance of the Pembrokeshire coast for defense purposes.
