In 1924 Malcolm Campbell set a world land speed record of 146.6mph on Pendine sands and Parry-Thomas tried to beat this record in 'Babs' but at 180mph, the car rolled over and he was killed. 'Babs' is now housed in the Museum of Speed at Pendine. This particular region of Wales has a lot to offer the discerning tourist. Outstanding scenery and walks around the coastline. A wealth of history, including castles, museums, ancient churches and cathedral and towns. A host of beaches and breath-taking panoramic views. Activity centres, parks, including a large theme park (Oakwood), golf courses and plenty of places to take boat trips from, to see the off-shore islands and wild life.
