Chapel Bay Fort, Military museum in Angle, Great Britain.
Chapel Bay Fort stands on the southern shore of Milford Haven Waterway, featuring concrete walls and three mounted artillery positions overlooking the water.
Construction of the fort began in 1890 and finished in 1891 at a cost of £11,779, making it the first mass concrete fortification in the area.
The museum exhibits detail the evolution of British coastal defense systems through preserved military equipment, documents, and architectural elements from different periods.
The museum operates from Easter to September on weekends between 10:00 and 16:00, with guided tours scheduled at 11:00, 12:15, 13:30, and 14:45.
A mining observation post established at the fort during World War II monitored naval activities in the Milford Haven Waterway.
