Towns & villages of Pembrokeshire

Newport is an idyllic little town on Pembrokeshire’s north coast, an undeveloped haven with a laid back way of life that acts as a perfect antidote to the excesses of modern life.

Haverfordwest is the attractive and ancient county town of Pembrokeshire. As well as being the county’s administrative centre, Haverfordwest has a great variety of shops in the town and the outlying retail parks.

Porthgain is a small coastal hamlet on the north coast of St Davids Peninsula.

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.

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.

Kilgetty and Begelly are villages between Narberth and Saundersfoot. Begelly is a linear village stretching along the main A478 and home to the well known Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo.

Crymych is a large village in north Pembrokeshire in the shelter of The Preseli Mountains. Boncath, from the Welsh for buzzard, lies 4 miles to the north of Crymych

Cenarth is a fascinating village on the border of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire. The focus of the village is Cenarth Falls.

Burton, Llangwm & Hook are three villages found along the Cleddau Estuary

Abereiddy is a tiny hamlet on the northern coast of St Davids Peninsula, about 5 miles away from St Davids itself.

Amroth is located on the south coast of Pembrokeshire 7 miles east of Tenby and at the start (or end, if you walk it the other way round) of the world renowned 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

Milford Haven developed as a whaling town in the late 17th century and due to its position sitting on the shores of the largest estuary in Wales and one of the deepest natural harbours in the world, it’s history is firmly connected to the sea.

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.

Both Treffgarne and Wolfscastle are small villages midway between Haverfordwest and Fishguard. Treffgarne is quite spread out without an identifiable centre, unlike Wolfscastle.

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