Carew sits in rolling Pembrokeshire countryside beside the tidal reach of the River Cleddau, a few miles inland from the great natural harbour of Milford Haven. The village is dominated by the dramatic ruins of Carew Castle, set on a bend above the estuary, and by the well-preserved Carew Tidal Mill, which illustrates the clever harnessing of tides that powered local industry for centuries. The estuarine setting gives the area attractive saltmarshes and wildlife, making it popular with walkers and birdwatchers as well as heritage visitors.
Locally the economy blends agriculture with a steady flow of tourism drawn to the castle, mill and coastal walks, while a small, close-knit community maintains village life through church and village-hall events. Historic layers from Norman to Tudor times are visible in the fabric and layout of Carew, so the place feels both quietly rural and richly connected to Welsh and maritime history.
