Map of the UK

The Castle ward in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales takes in the medieval heart of the county town, dominated by the motte-and-bailey of Haverfordwest Castle and the steep streets that fall to the Western Cleddau. Its compact historic core of narrow lanes, traditional shops and market activity gives it a distinct town-centre character and makes it a focal point for local civic life.

With Norman roots and a long role as an administrative hub, the ward blends tourism tied to the castle and nearby coastline with everyday retail and public‑sector employment, while community events and independent businesses sustain a lively local culture. The area often feels like a gateway to the wider attractions of Pembrokeshire and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, despite being very much a living, working neighbourhood.
