Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro)

Unitary authority in Wales

Coordinates:	51.86, -4.9
OS grid ref:	SN 00 21

Pembrokeshire is a coastal county and unitary authority in Wales, famed for its dramatic shoreline and long sandy beaches. Much of the coast forms the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, a rugged mix of cliffs, hidden coves and offshore isles such as Skomer that are rich in seabirds and marine life. The county stretches from the sheltered waters of Milford Haven and Cardigan Bay to windswept headlands and the rolling Preseli Hills inland.

Historic towns and villages like St Davids, Tenby and Pembroke reflect a long maritime and medieval past, with cathedrals, harbours and Norman castles. The deep natural harbour at Milford Haven has shaped modern industry and energy infrastructure, while fishing, boat-building and a thriving visitor sector draw on those nautical traditions. Cultural life mixes Welsh heritage with a busy festival calendar and a strong local food scene, especially seafood.

The economy depends heavily on tourism and agriculture, with walkers, sailors and wildlife-watchers drawn to coastal paths and nature reserves; outdoor activities like coasteering and sailing are popular. Communities are mostly rural and dispersed, with a mix of English- and Welsh-speakers and active conservation efforts to protect habitats and historic landscapes. Pembrokeshire combines a quiet, village-centred social life with the seasonal bustle of its seaside resorts and National Park.
