The Rumps

Fortress

👍👍 Phenomenal walk! The walking path winds along the coast line. We parked at the led mines and walked to the furthest point for the view. Back and forth took us about 90 minutes with two kids. Views are spectacular. We even got to see a seal.

👍 Amazing place full of military history, lots to explore with amazing views. Didnt get to do the tunnels as ticketed and full today, but an excellent reason to return.

👍 Barely a few cannons and some walls remain of this fort which was once a significant but small military establishment. Has a fantastic view over the Fishguard harbour and bay.

Blacknor Fort

Historical landmark

👍👍 Great place to find peace there. Nice view of Sea & walking trail is also very good. Make sure when you visit this place check the weather forecast for wind & rain. Because when we were there so much windy atmosphere but the view take my breath. Everything is worth for this view

Tregantle Fort

Historical landmark

😠 Worst AirBnB ever. Room was cold and drafty, no hot water, and the other guests were all really mean. Location was okay, I guess.

National Trust - Bembridge Fort and Downs

Tourist attraction

👍👍 A fascinating 90 minute tour of this old fort, first built to defend against Napoleon, later defence in WW1, and a barracks/radar station in WW2. It's in a pretty tumbledown state, but that adds to the atmosphere, IMHO. Don't expect fancy displays, though, it's a take-me-as-you-find-me place. Steve,...
