About

Pembrokeshire occupies the far southwest of Wales, sitting on a peninsula with an indented coastline and several offshore islands. The county contains the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only UK national park that is primarily coastal, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path which traces much of the shore. Offshore areas such as Skomer support seabird colonies and marine reserves. Major settlements and facilities include Milford Haven, a deep natural harbour with oil and LNG terminals, Pembroke with its medieval castle, and the cathedral city of St Davids at the western tip.

Inland the land rises toward the Preseli Hills in the north; slabs of local doleritic bluestone there have been linked to Stonehenge by archaeological and geochemical studies. Local livelihoods combine agriculture, fishing, energy and small-scale industry, while visitor services, ferry connections to islands and conservation work influence land use. Rail lines and the A40 provide road and rail links to other parts of Wales and the route of the Cleddau rivers shapes the central lowlands.
