Spittal is a small rural parish in Pembrokeshire, Wales, whose name recalls a medieval hospice or "spital" that once served travellers. It sits in the patchwork of hedged fields and lanes that characterises much of the county and has modest historic fabric – a parish church, old farmsteads and the occasional listed building hinting at a long local continuity.
The surrounding landscape mixes agriculture with easy access to coastal scenery and low hills, such as the Preseli Hills, so the local economy combines farming with some tourism and commuting to nearby towns. Community life is centred on village institutions and outdoor recreation; walkers and birdwatchers often use the area as a quieter base for exploring the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and the county’s many historic sites.
