Limpert Bay Anti-invasion Defences is a Second World War defensive installation located in Wales, part of the wider network of coastal fortifications constructed during the threat of German invasion. The site comprises elements typical of 1940s anti-invasion engineering, including fieldworks and structures designed to obstruct potential amphibious assault. These defences reflect the strategic importance of the Welsh coastline during the early years of the Second World War, when Britain faced the realistic prospect of invasion following the fall of France. The remains at Limpert Bay survive as evidence of the extensive military preparations undertaken along vulnerable stretches of the British coast during this critical period.
