Lamphey is a small village and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales, tucked inland a short distance from the sandy bays around Tenby and Pembroke. The area feels distinctly rural, with rolling farmland and hedged lanes giving way to attractive coastal scenery of the nearby Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, while a local railway station on the West Wales line makes it an easy base for visitors and commuters alike.
Its most striking feature is the ruined medieval bishops' palace built for the Bishop of St Davids, set close to the parish church and reflecting Lamphey’s long ecclesiastical history; later country houses such as Lamphey Court point to a Victorian and later period of genteel development. Today the economy mixes agriculture and tourism, with a small, close‑knit community, a village hall, occasional local events and a steady flow of visitors drawn by history, walking and proximity to Pembrokeshire’s beaches.
