Towns & villages of Pembrokeshire

Wiseman’s Bridge is a tiny seaside hamlet with a rocky beach in between Saundersfoot and Amroth. It is linked to Saundersfoot by a series of three tunnels through which a narrow gauge railway once travelled carrying coal.

This charming historic village on Pembrokeshire’s north coast near St Davids is quite a find. It stretches out along the road and has a very un-commercialised feel to it.

There is a village of Llys Y Fran but most people know the name because of Llys Y Fran Country Park which surrounds the lake and the impressive dam that holds it back.

The village of Lamphey is a few miles east of Pembroke on the road towards Manorbier. On the edge of the village are the remains of Lamphey Bishop’s Palace, one of three grand fortified palaces in Pembrokeshire belonging to the Bishop of St Davids.

The quaint village of Little Haven is on the west coast of Pembrokeshire at the southern end of St Brides Bay. An old fishing village with a good deal of charm and character.

The quaint riverside village of St Dogmaels is on the northern border of Pembrokeshire close to the market town of Cardigan. Its significant because the Pembrokeshire Coast Path starts or finishes here, depending on which way you’re walking it.

The pretty village of Stackpole is a few miles south of Pembroke, between Freshwater East and Bosherston. The village has some pretty cottages and an Inn (The Stackpole Inn) but is better known for the Stackpole Estate, Quay and Barafundle Beach.

The pretty little village of Moylegrove, the centre of which is made up of a tumble of traditional painted cottages, grey stone chapels and two stone river bridges, lies on the unspoiled North Pembrokeshire coast.

The eastern bank of the upper reaches of The Daugleddau has a very quiet rural atmosphere with several sleepy villages surrounded by oak woods and fields. Although inland, most of this area is part of The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The charming village of Angle lies in a sheltered valley located between East Angle bay on the Milford Haven Waterway and the sandy West Angle bay at the entrance to the Waterway.

The Marloes peninsula is on the west coast of Pembrokeshire at the southern end of St Brides Bay. Dale is located on the south side of the peninsula while Marloes is on the north side.

The Gwaun Valley runs inland from Lower Town Fishguard towards The Preseli Mountains. The Gwaun Valley was created by torrents of meltwater from the retreating ice during the last Ice Age to leave a verdant, steep-sided valley.

The Castlemartin peninsula is south-west of Pembroke and takes in some remote communities such as Merrion, Rhoscrowther and Angle.

Tenby is probably the most iconic seaside town in Wales, rivalling places like Mevagissey and Polperro for quaintness and charm.

Strumble is on the North West tip of Pembrokeshire, west of Fishguard. The area is known as the Pencaer Peninsula, although it isn’t actually a peninsula.

St Florence is a village of immense charm. There are many pretty cottages, one with a well known architectural feature known as a Flemish chimney – the last surviving example of its kind in the area.
