Eglwyswrw is a small rural village and civil parish in Pembrokeshire, Wales, tucked into rolling farmland to the north of the Preseli Hills and within easy reach of the north coast. Its name, literally "church of the Wrw", hints at medieval origins and the old parish church that remains a local landmark; the area is characterised by narrow lanes, patchwork fields and views stretching towards the Preseli Hills and Cardigan Bay.
Agriculture, especially sheep and mixed farming, underpins the local economy, supplemented by small-scale tourism and holiday accommodation; walkers and history enthusiasts visit to explore nearby prehistoric sites associated with the bluestone-bearing Preseli Hills and the quieter coastal towns such as Cardigan and Fishguard. There is a strong sense of community in Eglwyswrw, with a village hall, the parish church and occasional local events helping to sustain social and cultural life.
