Angle Peninsula Coast
The Angle Peninsula Coast is the entrance to the Haven waterway in the Welsh county of Pembrokeshire. It is a place of scientific interest. The rock pools of the windswept west angle beach are home to the rare cushion starfish. On the other side of the peninsula is situated Angle Bay. this bay is a wilderness of mud and sand making it a good home for invertebrates. The abundance of invertebrates means it is popular with many bird species such as dunlin, grey plover, common redshank, Eurasian oystercatcher and Eurasian curlew. The nearby Kilpaison Marsh is home to Cetti's warbler in the reed beds and scrub.

Angle Airfield
Angle airfield was one of the remotest airfields in Britain during World War II. The airfield opened in 1941 after Luftwaffe attacks at the town of Pembroke Dock. It began as a station for No10 Group, Fighter Command. A few Royal Air Force (RAF) squadrons passed through Angle including Flyer Supermarine Spitfires and Westland Whirlwinds and also Hawker Hurricanes. For a short while in 1943 it was passed onto the Royal Navy. In this time a Sunderland Flying Boat landed at Angle airfield after receiving hull damage during a rescue. It returned to the RAF and became home to the Coastal command unit who tested weapons that could be used against German U-Boats. After the war was over the buildings were no longer used and many were removed in the 1980s however some still stand in remote locations.
