Pembrey Country Park

Pembrey Country Park

Pembrey Country Park is a large country park near the village of Pembrey on the south coast of Carmarthenshire, West Wales, near Llanelli.

The Park consists of some 5.2 square kilometres of land, of which 2.02 square kilometres is open to the wandering public. With its coastal setting, there are numerous sandy beaches to the south with views of the north of the Gower peninsula. The inland areas of the park contain a number of visitor attractions.

The park served as a railway and an airport during World War II, and bunkers and pill boxes still remain today on view.
