Lamphey is a small ward centred on the village of the same name in rural Pembrokeshire, Wales, lying inland from the south-west coast between Pembroke and Tenby. The setting mixes rolling farmland and pockets of attractive parkland and is within easy reach of coastal walks and beaches, with a local railway station giving links on the Pembroke Dock branch line.
Historically the village is best known for the atmospheric ruins of a medieval bishops' palace and its church, which hint at a richer past as a clerical retreat. Today the ward retains a small, close-knit community, with an economy leaning on agriculture, local services and tourism - visitors come for the heritage, countryside and quiet coastal access rather than mass commercial development.
