HELLO guys and today's video is an amazing one ive been waiting to visit stack rock fort for so long so join me as i spent 12 hours on this amazing abandoned island #stackrockfort #wales #abandoned
Stack Rock Fort is a fort built on a small island in the Milford Haven Waterway, Pembrokeshire. A 3-gun fort was built between 1850 and 1852, and then upgraded in 1859 with a new building that completely encased the original gun tower. It is now a Grade II* listed building and a Scheduled Monument (registered SAM number PE334).
A fortification at Stack Rock was first proposed by Thomas Cromwell in 1539 to protect the waterway, although this would not actually come to fruition at the time. Similar proposals were made in 1748 when Lewis Morris carried out a survey of Milford Haven, reporting on shipwrecks and navigation and recommending that a small fort be built here. Another survey followed in 1817. The Royal Dockyard at Pembroke Dock was felt to be in need of defence from the sea, and in 1850 construction commenced, being completed in 1852.

The fort was originally designed for two decks of artillery casemates, but only the first floor was completed and used as a gun deck. The first floor accommodated a garrison of one officer and thirty men. Disarmed in 1929, it was first placed on the market in 1932 and sold for £160. In 2005 it was sold once more for £150,000.Concerns over the security of a nearby LNG jetty were raised in 2013, following the discovery of potential trespasser activity. The fort was sold again in 2020 to a private owner for an undisclosed amount. #pembrokeshire #urbex
