Linney Tobruk Shelters is a Second World War anti-invasion defence site located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The shelters consist of small reinforced concrete structures designed as gun emplacements and infantry defensive positions, constructed as part of the coastal fortification programme following the threat of German invasion in 1940 and 1941. Tobruk shelters, named after British defensive tactics employed at Tobruk in North Africa, were a distinctive feature of Home Defence arrangements and typically accommodated machine-gun crews or anti-tank rifles in confined positions. The site represents the physical evidence of Britain's wartime defensive preparations along vulnerable stretches of the Welsh coastline.
