Merlin's Bridge

About

The ward of Merlin's Bridge lies immediately north of Haverfordwest, forming a suburban gateway to the county town. It is primarily a residential area with a mix of housing estates and some local commercial services along its main roads. The landscape is defined by the Western Cleddau River, which curves along its southern boundary, and the presence of the main A40 road, a major transport artery through Pembrokeshire.

A notable feature is the large, modern roundabout named for the ward, which channels significant traffic. The area includes the grounds of Haverfordwest High School and is bordered by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park to the north, offering accessible green space. Its identity is closely linked to its function as a thoroughfare and residential community for the town.
