Round the corner from Le Grande Havre are Pembroke and L'Ancresse Bays, all one bay but divided by a line of rocks. The approach is not made hazardous by rocks and has a very gentle slope on the beach, so it has a fort at each headland and gun towers all round, from Napoleonic times. Top pic is Pembroke, and the tall building on the horizon is a windmill on top of which the Germans built a watchtower (Pic 2). Pic 3 shows a British Land Rover with a Napoleonic watchtower (and the windmill tower again in the background). Pic 4 is the L'Ancresse side with at least two towers visible, and more on the horizon.
