Range very accomodating -- they did a cracking talk at the flying club Christmas Do a few years ago, and have taken group round the tower there to see how they operate. They are very keen to maintain good relations with GA.

If you are there in the week, it's great entertainment to sit at the caravan park down the road and watch the jets doing their thing on the range!

Some local landmarks not on the chart which you might hear locals use are Loughor Bridge (road/rail bridge to the east) and Whitford Point (disused lighthosue on nothern tip of Gower)

At the airfield the cafe is a bit unpredictable, but the Butchers Arms up the road a short distance away, is decent, and Kidwelly, down the road in the opposite direction (although a bit of a walk) is lovely with castle and plenty of cafes and chippies.

The airfield abuts the Country Park with cycle tracks, footpaths, and somewhere a dry ski slope which I've been in no rush to try!

And there's the motoracing circuit of course.

There is a bus stop at the end of the lane leading out of the airfield that will take you to Pembrey (or the Butchers) in one direction and Kidwelly in the other). It's the X11 (mon-Sat) or the 111(Sun) -- the airfield's not marked on the timetable, but it's only a few minutes outside Pembrey village itself.
