Pendine

Pendine (Welsh: Pentywyn) is a village in Carmarthenshire, Wales, lying on Carmarthen Bay. The seaside resort is best known for Pendine Sands, where Malcolm Campbell and J.G. Parry-Thomas set the world land speed record five times between 1924 and 1927. Parry-Thomas was killed while making a final record-breaking attempt on Pendine Sands in 1927. The village is home to a Museum of Speed which houses Parry-Thomas' restored car Babs.
