Penally Training Camp (PTC) is located adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and near Tenby to the east and the town of Pembroke to the west.
The camp, and associated firing range, was established in 1860 to cater for an identified need for musketry training following the Crimean War. Extensive use of the accommodation and training facilities was also made during the First and Second World Wars, providing facilities for many British and Allied troops. Some of the original buildings are still in use.

PTC’s classrooms and training facilities complement activities at both Manorbier and Templeton, and it administers the latter. PTC is also used as a centre for many types of training, including adventurous training, and is the principal accommodation for units using ADR Manorbier.
