About

Wiston ward is a rural area in the southeast of Pembrokeshire, centred on the small village of the same name. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and the upper reaches of the Eastern Cleddau river. The ward includes several smaller settlements and hamlets, such as Walton East and Llawhaden, spread across its agricultural terrain. The area is primarily given over to pasture and arable farming, with narrow country lanes connecting its communities.

The historic focal point is Wiston Castle, a motte and bailey fortress built by the Flemish settler Wizo in the 12th century. Its prominent earthwork mound and stone shell keep remain a distinct landmark. The community is also home to the notable Llawhaden Castle and its associated medieval hospital ruins, reflecting the area's historical significance as a former episcopal centre. Local life revolves around the parish church, village hall, and the agricultural economy.
