Llanstadwell

Llanstadwell stretches along the shore line between Neyland and Hazelbeach. The 15th century tower of St Tudwal's church was a landmark for mariners.

At Hazelbeach, cargoes of grain, coal, culm and limestone were transferred from small ships beached at low tide to horse-drawn carts.

Scoveston is another of the Victorian forts, differing from the others in that it lies within a circular earthen bank.
