Beautiful west wales
I found this group of buildings entirely by accident as I wandered off course while looking for other stuff in the area.

They don't look as if they have been abandonned long, but despite there being absolutely nothing of value in them, they have been completely trashed, every window broken, and wiring stripped out along with any fittings that were left. I always feel sad seing the level of purposeless destruction that some people feel the need to create.

This is only one of the complex's, further along the road there are another couple of similar buildings, though these are surrounded by high fences, and seem better secured, though I didn't check.

I couldn't work out their purpose till I talked to a friend who lived local to them, only to discover that they had been surrounded by a complex of arials in the flat fields around, and they had been owned by the navy, who apparently communicated with its submarine fleet from here.

Shame that it's been boarded up – the main receiver and transmitter halls were quite photogenic with the light coming in.
