Castlemartin Training Area, Military training facility in Pembrokeshire, Wales
The Castlemartin Training Area extends across 6,000 acres of limestone coastal plateau within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
The British Army established this training ground in 1938 for tank exercises, temporarily closing it after World War II before reopening in 1951.
The territory contains medieval structures including St Govan's Chapel, built between coastal cliffs as a reconstruction of an early Christian hermit cell.
Access to Range West requires mandatory safety briefings, while the coastal exclusion zone extends up to 12 nautical miles during active operations.
The limestone cliffs feature natural formations like the Green Bridge of Wales and provide nesting sites for guillemots and razorbills at Stack Rocks.
