DTE Pembrokeshire: Access
There is a presumption in favour of public access to the Defence Training Estate, on Public Rights of Way. This has to be balanced against the over-riding national requirement for safe and sustainable military training and conservation. The first priorities for the estates are military training and public safety, followed closely by archaeology, conservation and agriculture. However, controlled public access is encouraged wherever and whenever possible.
Castlemartin range
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is 288 kilometres long. During non-firing periods, the public can use the section from Trevallen, via Stack Rocks, to the lower Warren Road.
There are a number of ancient fortified sites along the walk’s route, and on the coastal section in Range East the public must at all times stay on the seaward side of the white stakes. Public access to the range impact areas is, however, prohibited at all times.
Great care is taken to ensure the safety of these walks, although areas used by the armed forces for training can obviously be dangerous – and this applies throughout the Pembrokeshire training areas. Anyone walking on MoD land must obey all signs and byelaws relevant to the area being visited.
