Pembroke is a compact, historic county town in Pembrokeshire, Wales, sitting on a limestone headland at the tidal estuary of the River Cleddau. Its skyline is dominated by the mighty Pembroke Castle, a Norman stronghold and traditional birthplace of Henry VII, and the town keeps a pleasing mix of medieval streets and Georgian buildings that draw walkers and history fans alike.
Locally the economy mixes tourism, agriculture and small-scale services, with nearby Pembroke Dock recalling the area’s naval and shipbuilding past. The town’s close proximity to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the coastal path means easy access to dramatic cliffs, beaches and wildlife, while a steady programme of community events and markets preserves a friendly market‑town social atmosphere.
