Nestled between the gorgeous beaches of Abermawr and Aberbach in Pembrokeshire sits a gorgeous cabin with a fascinating history. The Cable Hut is one of a handful of properties to feature in tonight's episode of Britain's Best Beach Huts on Channel 4 - and interior design expert Laura Jackson dubs it "one of the most beautiful beach huts in the country".
The episode airing this evening (Thursday, July 6) is the second of the series and sees Laura and her co-host Jay Blades traverse the UK looking for the most "luxurious" beach huts. Far from the typical shabby-chic beach huts you find on sands across the nation, the beach huts and cabins in tonight's episode all ooze elegance, with The Cable Hut providing everything you could need for a holiday or mini-break away from home in a beautiful setting with unparalleled views.
The hut played a "pivotal role" in British history, co-host Laura Jackson tells viewers. She said: "150 years ago, staff here were some of the first to establish telecommunications with America. On July 27, 1866, Brunel's Great Eastern steamship completed a voyage to lay a cable under the Atlantic, reducing the time it took to send messages to the Americas from two weeks - to two minutes!"
