Dist:0.3km<br/>This barn to the south of the house ([[1849823]]) is the least damaged building. It is also easily visible from the adjacent public right of way.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is the ruin of the main house at Court Farm, as seen from the field gate just up the road. The roof is missing and the remains are compromised by well established trees. Under all that ivy there must be at least one of the rumoured seven chimneys that used to make the house an unmistakable landmark for sea navigation. For an idea of what it used to look like see some of the photos here: http://www.cwrtfarm.org/html/photo_gallery_.html Despite its sorry state, the farm has great historical significance, detailed extensively in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_Farm,_Pembrey and attracting a renovation grant from the Welsh Assembly: http://wales.gov.uk/news/latest/100406historicgrants/;jsessionid=JHwYLhDSpXzSqRQ4GhYwVsytmGQkdb6hzhHrlMjzrpNJMh34QsCX?lang=en

Dist:0.4km<br/>The present building was probably constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries. Pembrey (or Penbre) Church was a landmark for shipping in the hazardous Burry Estuary, where many came to grief on the Cefn Sidan sands. Over 200 sailors are buried in the churchyard. The circular structure outside the churchyard wall is a cattle pound. This was used to impound stray cattle, which their owners could reclaim after paying a fee. (This description paraphrased from the useful information board by the church gate).

Dist:0.9km<br/>This little bridge is now obsolete - it once spanned a railway but the rails were lifted a long time ago and now only a wet trackway runs beneath.

Dist:1.2km north<br/>A curious sight on this road's corner - a derelict bus shelter. Obviously no longer in use as Carmarthenshire has long since replaced this metal style of shelter with smart plastic ones and it has no timetables attached.
