Dale
gives its name to the peninsula that shelters the entrance to
Milford Haven. At Mill Bay, just inside the harbour entrance,
Henry Tudor landed in 1485 on his way to gaining the English crown
at Bosworth Field. A lighthouse has stood on St Ann's Head since
1713 and there are some spectacular cliff-path walks around the
headland.
Dale village is attractively situated on the
estuary, with a sand and shingle beach and some fine houses
along the old quay wall. Once a busy sea-trading and fishing
village, it is now a popular watersports centre, with yacht
moorings and facilities for board sailing and launching pleasure
craft. It can become congeted in summer but ther is an ample
car park close to the beach.
