About

Johnston ward encompasses a mix of residential and rural land on the eastern side of the Milford Haven Waterway. The village of Johnston itself sits just north of the A4076, acting as a residential settlement for the larger employment centres of Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock. The area includes farmland and smaller hamlets like Honeyborough, with views across the waterway to the town of Neyland. The landscape is characterised by gentle, rolling fields and hedgerows typical of the county.

The ward's eastern boundary is partly formed by the tidal reach of the Western Cleddau river. A notable local feature is the presence of the Johnston Cenotaph, a prominent war memorial situated on a raised grassy mound at a central crossroads. Land use is primarily agricultural, with pockets of residential development concentrated around the main village. The area provides a quieter residential alternative to the more industrialised zones further south along the waterway.
