St. Ann's Head Lighthouse
St. Ann's Head Lighthouse overlooks the entrance to the Milford Haven waterway, one of Britain's deep water harbours, from high atop the cliffs of St. Ann's Head. This is one of the oldest lighthouse sites in Wales. The headland is near the entrance to the busy Milford Haven waterway and takes its name from St Ann's Chapel, built atop the cliffs in medieval times. Legend has it that King Henry VII ordered the chapel’s construction in thanksgiving for his safe landing at nearby Mill Bay in 1485, from where he marched to Bosworth and deposed King Richard III. The chapel became an important landmark for mariners approaching the waterway in daylight. (Dale, Pembrokeshire, Wales)
