The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is giving members of the public a rare opportunity to visit Manorbier Range and find out how military training takes place in a heritage and conservation site within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The National Park Authority and MOD will be conducting a joint guided tour on August 24 at 10 am, offering a fascinating insight into Wales’ military heritage and the use of this Military Training Estate.

Ranger Lynne Houlston said: “The guided tours have proved very popular over the past 10 years as this area is normally out of bounds to the public.

“Please be aware that numbers are restricted, so book early to avoid disappointment. The tour will not be suitable for children under the age of 16 and dogs are not permitted on the range.”

The tour will include a presentation by range commandant Major Peter Sulman on the military history and use of Manorbier since its creation in 1938.

This will be followed by a close-up view of the Banshee, the aerial target used on the range.

A short walk around the range, led by the National Park Authority ranger Lynne Houlston and Polly Groom, of CADW, will bring the visit to a close.
