More about this scene
There is evidence that this headland was occupied during the Iron Age. It is thought that one or two stock-rearing families lived here, with banks and ditches across the neck of the promontory. At high tide, the headland becomes an island, making it easier to defend. The priory was attacked by Vikings in 986.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My late sister had several holidays in Llangennith in the 1920's. Because her father was killed in WW1, I have always assumed that these were paid for either by the army or the then British Legion. Does anyone know anything about the exact location of the holiday site, and what person or organisation might have provided the funding?
