Description
Newgale is a small coastal village in Pembrokeshire, clustered around the low-lying Brandy Brook and sheltered by a great bank of shingle bordering its 2 mile beach thought to have been created following a great storm in October 1859. The village has second world war anti-invasion defences in the form of a row of tank traps, and has a submerged forest periodically exposed on the beach below the shingle bank. Recorded during Royal Commission aerial reconnaissance.
