The Ranges
As this site will also cover known exercises that happen on the main Ranges in Pembrokeshire, we have provided links to allow you to keep in the know on what is going on.
As you may be aware there is the largely active ADRM ( Air Defence Range ) of Manorbier. This tends to be active all year round and attracts lots of exercises due to its sheer size and the fact it has lots of space for the services to “play” More information on the Manorbier Range can be seen here.
Castlemartin is also one of the other main ranges here in Pembrokeshire that also experiences all year round activity. Again, Castlemartin attracts aircraft exercises and firing the same as Manorbier but Castlemartin does have lots of troop activity on its grounds. More information on Castlemartin can be seen here.
Pembrokeshire does have smaller ranges that do also still see activity but are more troop based with artilery exercises. If you wish to view their pages they can be seen by clicking the names below:
Also of note. Haverfordwest is also the main port of call for those MIL heli’s that depart the local ranges and wish to call in for fuel before going En-route. Photo seen here . Many Thanks to Adrian Devon for the pic
