Dale, Pembrokeshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dale is a small village in Pembrokeshire, Wales, located on the Dale Peninsula which forms the north side of the entrance to Milford Haven estuary. It was once a marcher borough. Owen, in 1603, described it as one of nine Pembrokeshire "boroughs in decay"[1].
There is a Victorian fort located on a rocky promontory that houses a field studies centre. Many British, Dutch and Belgian students of marine biology, biology, geology, geomorphology, and other related fields have enjoyed exporing the natural resources of Pembrokeshire as well as each others company and the beer sold by the local pub. Windsurfing is taught in the Dale bay.
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes through the village.
On 15 February 1996, the oil tanker Sea Empress grounded at the Milford Haven entrance spilling 72,000 tonnes of crude oil.
