Broad Haven
Broad Haven was the scene of a UFO flap during the late 1970's. There were several reported sightings; the most widely publicised was the strange visitation to a field near to Broad Haven primary school in February 1977.

On the 4th of that month 14 primary children witnessed a silvery yellow cigar shaped UFO, and a few also witnessed a humanoid figure in a silver suit. Following this report there were adult witnesses to a domed shaped UFO in the same vicinity. There were several more sightings over the following months, which levelled off considerably after 1977.

Clegyr Boia
This rocky hilltop was occupied during the Neolithic period around 3800BC, when there were a number of rectangular houses on the summit. During the Iron Age the hill was fortified and served as a hillfort. A rampart, which can still be seen today, was completed around the hill with an entrance towards the Southwest.

According to Welsh legend the hillfort was the home of a 6th century pirate of Irish origin called Boia, after whom the hillfort is named. His fortification was said to have been destroyed by heavenly fire after Boia's wife sacrificed their daughter Dunawd to the old pagan gods. Boia was killed by another pirate called Lisci on the same night. Whether the legend holds any historical clues is not known.
