Wisemans Bridge located on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path between Saundersfoot and Armouth, in Pembrokeshire, South Wales

 

It is a tiny seaside hamlet with a rocky beach linked to Saundersfoot by a series of three tunnels through which a narrow gauge railway once travelled carrying coal from the local mines to Saundersfoot Harbour. The old railway line or dramway heads up the wooded valley to the Stepaside Iron works, now a historic ruin..

 

In 1943, Winston Churchill visited the area as the allies practised for the D Day landings.
