'''Pembrokeshire''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|p|ɛ|m|b|r|ʊ|k|ʃ|ɪər|,_|-|ʃ|ər}} {{respell|PEM|bruuk|sheer|,_-|shər}}; {{langx|cy|Sir Benfro}} {{IPA|cy|siːr ˈbɛnvrɔ|}}) is a [[Principal areas of Wales|county]] in the [[South West Wales|south-west]] of [[Wales]]. It is bordered by [[Carmarthenshire]] to the east, [[Ceredigion]] to the northeast, and otherwise by the sea.{{NoteTag|Clockwise from [[Carmarthen Bay]]: [[Bristol Channel]], [[Celtic Sea]]/[[Atlantic Ocean]], [[St George's Channel]]/[[Irish Sea]]. There are no clearly-defined boundaries between these bodies of water.}} [[Haverfordwest]] is the largest town and administrative headquarters of [[Pembrokeshire County Council]].

The county is generally sparsely populated and rural, with an area of {{Convert|610|sqmi|km2}} and a population of 123,400. After Haverfordwest, the largest settlements are [[Milford Haven]] (13,907), [[Pembroke Dock]] (9,753), and [[Pembroke, Pembrokeshire|Pembroke]] (7,552). [[St Davids]] (1,841) is a city, the smallest by population in the UK. [[Welsh language|Welsh]] is spoken by 17.2 percent of the population, and for [[Landsker Line|historic reasons]] is more widely spoken in the north of the county than in the south.

Pembrokeshire's coast is its most dramatic geographic feature, created by the complex geology of the area. It is a varied landscape which includes high sea cliffs, wide sandy beaches, the large natural harbour of Milford Haven, and several offshore islands which are home to seabird colonies. Most of it is protected by [[Pembrokeshire Coast National Park]], and can be hiked on the {{convert|190|mi|adj=on}} [[Pembrokeshire Coast Path]]. The interior of Pembrokeshire is relatively flat and gently undulating, with the exception of the [[Preseli Mountains]] in the north.

There are many prehistoric sites in Pembrokeshire, particularly in the Preseli Mountains. During the Middle Ages several castles were built by the Normans, such as [[Pembroke Castle|Pembroke]] and [[Cilgerran Castle|Cilgerran]], and [[St Davids Cathedral|St David's Cathedral]] became an important pilgrimage site. During the [[Industrial Revolution]] the county remained relatively rural, with the exception of Milford Haven, which was developed as a port and [[Royal Navy]] [[Royal Navy Dockyard|dockyard]]. It is now the UK's third-largest port, primarily because of its two [[liquefied natural gas]] terminals. The economy of the county is now focused on agriculture, oil and gas, and tourism.

==Settlements==
:''See [[List of places in Pembrokeshire]] for a comprehensive list of settlements in Pembrokeshire.''

The county town is Haverfordwest. Other towns include Pembroke, Pembroke Dock, Milford Haven, [[Fishguard]], [[Tenby]], [[Narberth, Pembrokeshire|Narberth]], [[Neyland]] and [[Newport, Pembrokeshire|Newport]]. In the west of the county, St Davids is the United Kingdom's [[List of smallest cities in the United Kingdom|smallest city]] in terms of both size and population (1,841 in 2011). [[Saundersfoot]] is the most populous village (more than 2,500 inhabitants)<ref name="UKCensus2011Saunders"/> in Pembrokeshire. Less than 4 per cent of the county, according to [[Coordination of Information on the Environment|CORINE]], is built-on or green urban.<ref name="BBCNews9Nov2017"/>

There are three weather stations in Pembrokeshire: at Tenby, Milford Haven and [[Penycwm]], all on the coast. Milford Haven enjoys a mild climate and Tenby shows a similar range of temperatures throughout the year,<ref name="MetOfficeTenby"/> while at Penycwm, on the west coast and 100m above sea level, temperatures are slightly lower.<ref name="MetOfficePenycwm"/>

The county has on average the highest coastal winter temperatures in Wales due to its proximity to the relatively warm Atlantic Ocean.  Inland, average temperatures tend to fall 0.5&nbsp;°C for each 100 metres increase in height.<ref name="MetOffClimate"/>

The air pollution rating of Pembrokeshire is "Good", the lowest rating.<ref name="BBCNews10Jan2018"/>

===Geology===
The rocks in the county were formed between 600 and 290 million years ago. More recent rock formations were eroded when sea levels rose 80 million years ago, at the end of the [[Cretaceous Period]]. Around 60 million years ago, the Pembrokeshire landmass emerged through a combination of uplift and falling sea levels; the youngest rocks, from the [[Carboniferous Period]], contain the [[Pembrokeshire Coalfield]].<ref name="PVMCoal"/> The landscape was subject to considerable change as a result of ice ages; about 20,000 years ago the area was scraped clean of soil and vegetation by the ice sheet; subsequently, meltwater deepened the existing river valleys.<ref name="PVMGeology"/><ref name="HowellsGeoHistPembs"/> While Pembrokeshire is not usually a seismically active area, in August 1892 there was a series of pronounced activities (maximum intensity: 7) over a six-day period.<ref name="Davison1924"/>{{rp|184}}

===Coastline and landscape===
[[File:Pembrokeshire Coast National Park UK location map.svg|thumb|alt=map of area of national park in the county|Pembrokeshire Coast National Park shown in green]]
The Pembrokeshire coastline includes numerous bays and sandy beaches. The [[Pembrokeshire Coast National Park]], the only park in the UK established primarily because of its coastline,<ref name="VWExploring"/><ref name="NatGeo2Nov2017"/> occupies more than a third of the county. The park contains the [[Pembrokeshire Coast Path]], a near-continuous {{convert|186|mi|adj=on}} [[long-distance trail]] from [[Amroth, Pembrokeshire|Amroth]], by the Carmarthenshire border in the southeast, to [[St Dogmaels]] just down the [[River Teifi]] [[estuary]] from [[Cardigan, Ceredigion]], in the north.<ref name="NTPembsCoastPath"/> The [[National Trust]] owns {{convert|60|mi}} of Pembrokeshire's coast.<ref name="BBCNews27Jan2018"/> Nowhere in the county is more than {{convert|10|mi}} from tidal water. The large estuary and natural harbour of [[Milford Haven (harbour)|Milford Haven]] cuts deep into the coast; this inlet is formed by the [[confluence]] of the Western [[River Cleddau|Cleddau]] (which flows through Haverfordwest), the Eastern Cleddau, and rivers Cresswell<ref name="PCNPACresswell"/> and Carew. Since 1975, the estuary has been bridged by the [[Cleddau Bridge]],<ref name="Hansard8Dec1994"/> a toll bridge carrying the [[A477 road|A477]] between Neyland and Pembroke Dock. Large bays are Newport Bay, Fishguard Bay, [[St Bride's Bay]] and western [[Carmarthen Bay]]. There are several small islands off the Pembrokeshire coast, the largest of which are [[Ramsey Island|Ramsey]], [[Grassholm Island|Grassholm]], [[Skokholm Island|Skokholm]], [[Skomer Island|Skomer]] and [[Caldey Island|Caldey]].<ref name="PCNPAIslands"/> The seas around Skomer and Skokholm, and some other areas off the Pembrokeshire coast are [[Marine protected area]]s.<ref name="DEFRAIslands"/>

There are many known shipwrecks off the Pembrokeshire coast with many more undiscovered.<ref name="BBCNews26Oct2014"/><ref name="DiveWrecks"/> A [[Viking]] wreck off [[Smalls Lighthouse|The Smalls]] has protected status.<ref name="WO6Jan2018"/> The county has five [[List of RNLI stations#Wales,_West_&_Isle_of_Man_Region|lifeboat stations]], the earliest of which, [[Fishguard Lifeboat Station|at Fishguard]], was established in 1822; in 2015 a quarter of all [[Royal National Lifeboat Institution]] Welsh rescues took place off the Pembrokeshire coast.<ref name="MM27Jan2016"/>

[[File:View from Carn Menyn eastwards towards Foel Drigarn and Y Frenni 2011.jpg|thumb|alt=grey stone blocks in the foreground and hills in the background|View from the bluestone quarry to other peaks in the Preselis]]
Pembrokeshire's diverse range of geological features was a key factor in the establishment of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and a number of sites of special scientific interest (SSSIs).<ref name="PCNPAGeology"/> In the north of the county are the Preseli Mountains, a wide stretch of high [[moorland]] supporting sheep farming and some forestry, with many [[prehistoric]] sites and the probable source of the [[bluestone]]s used in the construction of the inner circle of [[Stonehenge]] in England.<ref name="DATPreseli"/> The highest point is [[Foel Cwmcerwyn]] at {{convert|1759|ft|m}}, which is also the highest point in Pembrokeshire. Elsewhere in the county most of the land (86 per cent according to [[CORINE]]) is used for farming, compared with 60 per cent for Wales as a whole.<ref name="BBCNews9Nov2017"/>

===Biodiversity===
Pembrokeshire's wildlife is diverse, with marine, estuary, woodland, moorland and farmland habitats.<ref name="WWPembs"/><ref name="Guardian10Jul2012"/> The county has a number of seasonal seabird breeding sites, including for [[razorbill]], [[guillemot]], [[puffin]] and [[Manx shearwater]],<ref name="PCNPASeabirds"/> and rare endemic species such as the [[red-billed chough]];<ref name="Madge1994"/>{{rp|133&ndash;135}} Grassholm has a large gannet colony.<ref name="VPGrassholm"/> Seals,<ref name="VPSeals"/> several species of whales (including rare [[humpback whale]] sightings<ref name="BBCNews14Aug2021"/><ref name="BBCNews20Jan2024"/>), dolphins and porpoises can be seen off the Pembrokeshire coast; whale-watching boat trips are frequent, particularly during the summer months.<ref name="VPWhales"/> An appeal for otter sightings in 2014 yielded more than 100 responses,<ref name="BBCNews17Jun2014"/> and a rare visit by a walrus occurred in the spring of 2021.<ref name="BBCNews20Mar2021"/>

Pembrokeshire is one of the few places in the UK that is home to the rare Southern damselfly, ''[[Coenagrion mercuriale]]'', which is found at several locations in the county, and whose numbers have been boosted by conservation work over a number of years.<ref name="BBCNews24Sep2020"/>

Ancient woodland still exists, such as [[Tŷ Canol Wood]], where [[Fluorescence#In_nature|biofluorescence]], seen under [[ultraviolet]] light under the dark sky, is a feature that has led to the wood being described as "...one of the most magical and special woodlands in the UK."<ref name="BBCNews17Feb2024"/>

The [[Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales]] is in the process of restoring a lost [[temperate rainforest]], also known as a Celtic forest, in Trellwyn Fach, near the town of [[Fishguard]].<ref name="BBCNews6Sep2024"/> Although temperate rainforests once covered much of western Britain's coasts, they were destroyed over centuries and only remain in fragments.<ref name="WTrust15Jul2024"/> The {{Convert|59|ha|acre|adj=on}} site will connect with remnants of the remaining rainforest in the [[Cwm Gwaun|Gwaun valley]].<ref name="FoJo15Jul2024"/> The project is part of a larger, 100-year Atlantic rainforest recovery programme.<ref name="TimeOut16Jul2024"/>

==History==
{{main|History of Pembrokeshire}}
[[Image:Pentre Ifan burial chamber - geograph.org.uk - 384085.jpg|thumb|alt=exterior view of prehistoric structure|[[Pentre Ifan]] neolithic burial chamber]]
Human habitation in what is now Pembrokeshire dates back to between 125,000 and 70,000 years ago,<ref name="Davies1994"/>{{rp|3}} with prominent prehistoric sites including [[Pentre Ifan]] and other [[Neolithic]] remains. Aerial surveys during the 2018 heatwave revealed many previously unrecorded sites,<ref name="BBCNews28Dec2018"/> and in the same year, Wales’s first known Celtic chariot burial was discovered in [[Llanstadwell]].<ref name="BBCNews31Jan2019"/><ref name="BBCNews26Jun2019"/> Roman influence was limited; although a few forts, coins, and roads have been found,<ref name="DATWiston"/><ref name="BBCNews2Aug2024"/> much of the area remained beyond sustained Roman control. In the sub-Roman period, the Irish [[Déisi]] settled and merged with local populations, forming the [[Kingdom of Dyfed]], which became part of [[Deheubarth]] in the 10th century. The region saw Viking raids and limited settlement.<ref name="Davies1994"/>{{rp|81–85}}

Normans and Flemings arrived between 1067 and 1111, building castles such as [[Pembroke Castle]] and transforming Dyfed into the county of Pembroke.<ref name="Davies1994"/>{{rp|98}} Although Norman control was contested by Welsh rulers including [[The Lord Rhys]] and [[Llywelyn the Great]], it endured in many parts of the region. Pembrokeshire was declared a county palatine in 1138 and saw a wave of [[Flemish settlement in Pembrokeshire|Flemish settlement]].<ref name="Laws1888"/>{{rp|107}} In 1485, Henry Tudor had launched his campaign from Pembroke, ultimately becoming [[Henry VII of England]].<ref name="Davies2000"/>{{rp|337–379}} The [[Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542]] later reorganised it into seven [[Hundred (county division)|hundreds]], aligning it with the English shire system. The county supported Parliament in the English Civil Wars, with [[Oliver Cromwell]] besieging Pembroke in 1648 following a local mutiny.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Pembrokeshire remained largely agricultural, with modest urban centres and limited industrial growth. The [[Battle of Fishguard]] in 1797 marked the last invasion of Britain, ending in French surrender. Poor relief and infrastructure remained key concerns, with water supply improved only later in the century.<ref name="PH14Apr1882"/> In the 20th century, military use of the county intensified, particularly during the world wars: a naval base at [[Milford Haven]], multiple airfields, D-Day training by U.S. forces,<ref name="BBCNews22Oct2019"/> and accommodation of German POWs all featured. Pembrokeshire’s wartime casualties are commemorated at the [[County of Pembroke War Memorial]].<ref name="WarMem"/> After 1945, modern development included the construction of the [[Llys y Fran]] reservoir (1972), with the local economy later benefiting from tourism, agriculture, and energy infrastructure.

==Demography==
[[File:Welsh speakers in the 2011 census Pembrokeshire.png|right|thumb|alt=Graphic showing the proportion of Welsh speakers throughout Wales in 2011|Proportion of Welsh speakers (Wales 2011 census) in Pembrokeshire (county border shown by white line)]]

===Population===
Pembrokeshire's population was 122,439 at the 2011 census,<ref name="UKCensusData"/> increasing marginally to 123,400 at the 2021 census. 66.4 per cent of residents were born in Wales, while 27.5 per cent were born in England.<ref name="Census2021"/>

===Language===
The 2021 census recorded that Welsh is spoken by 17.2 per cent of the population, a fall from 19.2 per cent in 2011.<ref name="Census2021"/> As a result of differential immigration over hundreds of years, such as the influx of Flemish people,<ref name="BBCLegaciesFlemish"/> the south of the county has fewer Welsh-speaking inhabitants (about 15 per cent) than the north (about 50 per cent). The rough line that can be drawn between the two regions, illustrated by the map, is known as the [[Landsker Line]], and the area south of the line has been termed "[[Little England Beyond Wales]]". The first objective, statistically based description of this demarcation was made in the 1960s,<ref name="John1972"/>{{rp|7&ndash;29}} but the distinction was remarked upon as early as 1603 by [[George Owen of Henllys]].<ref name="Owen1994"/> A 21st century introduction of Welsh place names for villages which had previously been known locally only by their English names has caused some controversy.<ref name="WT26Jun2018"/>

===Religion===
In 1851, a religious census of Pembrokeshire showed that of 70 per cent of the population, 53 per cent were [[Nonconformist (Protestantism)|nonconformist]]s and 17 per cent Church of England (now [[Church in Wales]], in the [[Diocese of St Davids]]).<ref name="Jones2017"/> The 2001 census for Preseli Pembrokeshire constituency showed that 74 per cent were Christian and 25 per cent of no religion (or not stated), with other religions totalling less than 1 per cent. This approximated to the figures for the whole of Wales.<ref name="UKcensus2011Preseli"/> By 2021, 43 per cent reported "no religion", while 48.8 per cent described themselves as Christian. 6.6 per cent did not state their religion, and the remainder represented a number of other religions combined.<ref name="Census2021"/>

===Ethnicity===
In 2001, Preseli Pembrokeshire constituency was 99 per cent white European, marginally lower than in 1991, compared with 98 per cent for the whole of Wales. 71 per cent identified their place of birth as Wales and 26 per cent as from elsewhere in the UK.<ref name="UKcensus2011Preseli"/> In 2021, 52.7 per cent of residents identified as "Welsh only", a slight decrease since 2011.<ref name="Census2021"/>

Under the [[Local Government Act 1888]], an elected [[Pembrokeshire County Council, 1889-1974|county council]] was set up to take over the functions of the Pembrokeshire [[Quarter Sessions]]. It was based at the [[Shire Hall, Haverfordwest]].<ref>{{NHAW|num=12110|desc= The Shire Hall|access-date=5 October 2021}}</ref> This and the administrative county of Pembrokeshire were abolished under the [[Local Government Act 1972]], with Pembrokeshire forming two districts of the new county of [[Dyfed]]: [[South Pembrokeshire]] and [[Preseli Pembrokeshire|Preseli]] – the split being made at the request of local authorities in the area. Under the same Act, [[civil parish]]es<ref name="OS1909"/> were replaced by [[Community (Wales)|communities]] across the whole of Wales.<ref name="Wood1976"/><ref name="LGA1972"/> In 1996, under the [[Local Government (Wales) Act 1994]], the county of Dyfed was broken up into its constituent parts, and Pembrokeshire has been a [[unitary authority]] since then.<ref name="Hansard23Jun2009"/> A new [[County Hall, Haverfordwest|County Hall]] was built in 1999 in Haverfordwest and serves as the county council's headquarters. In 2017 [[Pembrokeshire County Council]] had 60 members and no political party in overall control; there were 34 [[Independent (politician)|independent]] councillors.<ref name="PCCCouncillors"/>

In 2009, the question of county names and [[Royal Mail]] postal addresses was raised in the Westminster parliament; it was argued that Royal Mail's continued use of the county address Dyfed was causing concern and confusion in the Pembrokeshire business community.<ref name="Hansard23Jun2009"/> The Royal Mail subsequently ceased requiring county names to be used in postal addresses.

In 2018, Pembrokeshire County Council increased [[council tax]] by 12.5 per cent, the largest increase since 2004, but the county's council tax remains the lowest in Wales.<ref name="BBCNews26Sep2018"/> In 2023 the council published its corporate strategy document for 2023-28.<ref name="PCCcorpstrat"/>

[[Image:Cleddau_bridge1.jpg|thumb|alt=modern bridge spanning a broad river|[[Cleddau Bridge]]]]
There are no motorways in Pembrokeshire; the nearest is the [[M4 motorway]] from London which terminates at the [[Pont Abraham services]] in Carmarthenshire some {{convert|46|mi}} from Haverfordwest. The [[A40 road|A40]] crosses Pembrokeshire from the border with Carmarthenshire westwards to Haverfordwest, then northwards to Fishguard.<ref name="BingMaps"/> The [[A477 road|A477]] from [[St. Clears]] to Pembroke Dock is {{convert|24|mi}} long, of which only {{convert|2|mi}} are dual carriageway.

==Economy==
Pembrokeshire's economy now relies heavily on tourism; agriculture, once its most important industry with associated activities such as milling, is still significant. Mining of slate and coal had largely ceased by the 20th century. Since the 1950s, [[petrochemical]] and [[liquid natural gas]] industries have developed along the [[Milford Haven Waterway]] and the county has attracted other major ventures. In 2016, [[Stephen Crabb]], then [[Secretary of State for Wales|Welsh Secretary]], commented in a government press release: ''"...with a buoyant local economy, Pembrokeshire is punching above its weight across the UK."''<ref name="GovUK18Mar2016"/>

In August 2019, the Pembrokeshire County Show celebrated 60 years at Haverfordwest Showground. The organisers anticipated 100,000 visitors, the largest three-day such event in Wales at the time. It showcased agriculture, food and drink, a rugby club, entertainment, with the star attraction a motorcycle display team.<ref name="WT13Aug2019"/>

===Agriculture===
Until the 12th century, a great extent of Pembrokeshire was virgin woodland. Clearance in the lowland south began under Anglo-Flemish colonisation and under mediaeval tenancies in other areas. Such was the extent of development that by the 16th century there was a shortage of timber in the county. Little is known about mediaeval farming methods, but much arable land was continuously cropped and only occasionally ploughed. By the 18th century, many of the centuries-old open field systems had been [[enclosure|enclosed]], and much of the land was arable or rough pasture in a ratio of about 1:3.<ref name="GENUKIFarming1580"/>

[[File:Solva Mill (3962).jpg|thumb|left|120px|alt=Solva Woollen Mill|Solva Woollen Mill]]
Kelly's Directory of 1910 gave a snapshot of the agriculture of Pembrokeshire: {{convert|57343|acre}} were cropped (almost half under oats and a quarter barley), there were {{convert|37535|acre}} of grass and clover and {{convert|213387|acre}} of permanent pasture (of which a third was for hay). There were {{convert|128865|acre}} of mountain or heathland used for grazing, with {{convert|10000|acre}} of managed or unmanaged woodland. Estimates of livestock included 17,810 horses, 92,386 cattle, 157,973 sheep and 31,673 pigs. Of 5,981 agricultural holdings, more than half were between 5 and 50 acres.<ref name="GENUKIAgriStats1908"/>

Pembrokeshire had a flourishing [[Wool industry in Wales|wool industry]].<ref name="WoollenMills2013"/> There are still working woollen mills at [[Solva Woollen Mill|Solva]] and [[Melin Tregwynt|Tregwynt]].<ref name="WMSMillsOpen"/> One of the last few watermills in Wales producing flour is in [[St Dogmaels]].<ref name="TA11Feb2019"/>

Pembrokeshire has good soil and benefits from the [[Gulf Stream]], which provides a mild climate and a longer growing season than other parts of Wales.<ref name="Davies1995"/>{{rp|142}} Pembrokeshire's mild climate means that crops such as its new potatoes (which have [[List of United Kingdom food and drink products with protected status|protected geographical status]] under European law)<ref name="BBCNews4Dec2013"/> often arrive in British shops earlier in the year than produce from other parts of the UK. Other principal arable crops are [[rapeseed|oilseed rape]], [[wheat]] and [[barley]], while the main non-arable activities are dairy farming for milk and cheese, beef production and sheep farming.<ref name="PVMFarming"/>

The county lends its name to the [[Pembroke Welsh Corgi]], a herding dog whose lineage can be traced back to the 12th century,<ref name="Wheeler2010"/>{{rp|6}} but which in 2015 was designated as a "vulnerable" breed.<ref name="DT8Feb2015"/>

Since 2006, Pembrokeshire Local Action Network for Enterprise and Development (PLANED) has provided a forum to promote an integrated approach to rural development, in which communities, public sector and voluntary partners and specialist interest groups come together to influence policy and promote projects aimed at sustainable agriculture. Sub-groups include promoting food and farming in schools and shortening supply chains.<ref name="PLANEDSustAgri"/>

===Fishing===
[[File:Milford Marina2.jpg|thumb|Milford Haven dock, 2009]]
With Pembrokeshire's extensive coastal areas and tidal river estuaries, fishing was an important industry at least from the 16th century. Many ports and villages were dependent on the fishing.<ref name="PVMfish"/> The former large [[Commercial fishing|sea fishing]] industry around Milford Haven is now greatly reduced, although limited commercial fishing still takes place. At its peak, Milford was landing over 40,000 tons of fish a year.<ref name="PVMfish"/> [[Pembrokeshire Fish Week]] is a biennial event<ref name="WO3Jun2014"/> which in 2014 attracted 31,000 visitors and generated £3&nbsp;million for the local economy.<ref name="WO28Nov2014"/>

===Mining===
[[Slate industry in Wales|Slate quarrying]] was a significant industry in the 19th and early 20th centuries with quarrying taking place at about 100 locations throughout the county.<ref name="Tucker1983"/> Over 50 coal workings in the [[Pembrokeshire Coalfield]] were in existence between the 14th and 20th centuries,<ref name="GENUKICoal"/> with the last coal mine, at [[Kilgetty]], closing in 1950.<ref name="PVMCoal"/><ref name="BBCNews14Feb2019"/> Pembrokeshire has 61 disused coal tips; only one of these is in Category C (carrying a potential safety risk), but its location has not been disclosed.<ref name="BBCNews26Oct2021"/>
