A museum, which will house Wales’ largest collection of military artefacts, has been given the go-ahead by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority (PCNPA).

The approval means that work can now begin to convert parts of Chapel Bay Fort, a coastal fortress, into a museum.

The project will restore the fortress and its surroundings and open it to the public as a monument and an interpretation centre for the military history of Pembrokeshire and Wales.

A permanent education and resource centre for research will also be opened, as well as a tourist attraction displaying and interpreting the collections.

Trustees of the scheme plan to open a visitor centre documenting the restoration and charting the development.

The Chapel Bay Fort is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, located on the cliffs of the Angle peninsula and was designed to protect the Milford Haven Waterway.
