About

Haverfordwest's Garth ward lies on the eastern bank of the River Cleddau, forming a distinct residential area that climbs from the water's edge. Its streets, such as Garth Road and Hamilton Terrace, feature a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside more modern developments. The area provides direct access to the town's commercial centre via the historic stone bridge, making it a practical residential zone closely linked to Haverfordwest's core services and infrastructure.

The ward's elevated sections offer clear views across the town's rooftops towards the spire of St Mary's Church. A notable local feature is the secluded Garth Gardens, a quiet, wooded public space with winding paths descending the hillside. This area is primarily characterised by its steep topography, with many properties built into the slope, creating a layered streetscape that contrasts with the flatter town centre across the river.
