Dist:0.5km<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:1.0km north<br/>A train heads for Kidwelly whilst an Audi chooses just the right moment to come along this very quiet track.

Dist:1.1km south<br/>This forest is on the approach road to Pembrey Country Park, but completely separated from it.

Dist:1.1km east<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.

Dist:1.2km east<br/>A country lane that serves nearby houses and farms.

Dist:1.4km northwest<br/>What can I say? I only stopped to take a picture for my own records of this training dome (a forerunner of today's flight simulators) as a result of Mike Williams' first Geograph of this architectural relic. At first I assumed the plane that flew into focus of my first picture taken of the dome was an RAF training plane but the aircraft's distinctive profile suggested it looked remarkably like a Spitfire. Indeed, that's what it turned out to be. There was a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight taking place from nearby Pembrey airfield just as I was passing and happened to stop to take my picture. What a lovely looking and agile aircraft the Spitfire was!

Dist:1.5km west<br/>This exit leads from the observation block and would have provided alternative access to the bunker.

Dist:1.5km west<br/>The thick concrete roof is supported by rusting metal girders and the slit provides 360 vision for the occupants. Observers would have directed the defence of the airfield from here.

Dist:1.5km west<br/>This bunker lies just outside the motor racing circuit at Pembrey and during the war would have been the command centre for the defence of RAF Pembrey. The trees are recent, and the bunker is placed on high ground to give an excellent view of the whole of the airfield.
