About Templeton Airfield Memorial

The RAF airfield that once bristled with activity during the Second World War is now a quiet memorial to those who flew from Templeton. You won't find much left physically - this isn't a museum with hangars intact or a visitor centre. What you get instead is a chance to stand where history happened, to see the flat Carmarthenshire landscape and understand why it was chosen for operations. The memorial itself marks the site respectfully, and for anyone interested in wartime aviation or local history, it's genuinely moving.

This appeals most to history buffs and anyone researching family connections to the war effort. Veterans' descendants sometimes make pilgrimages here. It's not a day-long attraction - you're looking at half an hour, maybe an hour if you've got stories to tell or records to check against the location. The nearest town is Kilgetty, which sits about five miles away, making Templeton easy to reach while staying at one of the caravan parks scattered throughout the area.

If you're basing yourselves at Folly Farm or one of the other parks within a couple of miles, you can slot this in as a morning walk or quiet reflective stop. It won't thrill young children who want action and activity, but it matters if you've got a genuine interest. Go early in the day when it's peaceful, and bring a camera if you're documenting anything for research. There's no charge to visit, though access might depend on season or landowner permission - worth checking locally when you arrive.
