Burton is a small coastal parish in Pembrokeshire, sitting on the north shore of the Milford Haven Waterway a few miles from Milford Haven and Haverfordwest. Its setting of estuarine mudflats, salt marsh and sheltered lanes gives it a distinctly maritime character, popular with birdwatchers and walkers who enjoy the quiet coastal views rather than busy seaside amenities.
Historically the community grew around agriculture and small-scale maritime trades, and you can still sense that mixed rural and seafaring past in the village layout and a modest historic parish church. Today the local economy is a blend of farming, tourism and commuting to nearby towns and harbour-related industries, and social life tends to centre on a tight-knit village scene rather than larger commercial services.
