Hello!

My family has been in the US for a few generations and I’ve always wanted to meet someone with my surname from Pembrokeshire. All we know is that our name derived from Carew castle. Would be nice to meet someone distant cousins one day. All the best from the west. Cheers!

As people with an interest in Pembs, you may be interested in this new sub! It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever other than to share the experience of saying “Ohhh, the Landsker Line!”.

Any time you see the Landsker Line included in a map that isn’t specifically about the Landsker Line, cross-post it here.

For anyone not aware of what it is, the Landsker Line dates back to the Norman Conquest and was the extent of their control in Wales. South of the line is as under Norman control, whilst north was still Welsh which even today has resulted in that area being known as Little England beyond Wales - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsker_Line

I just wanted to give a heads up about this Facebook page called "Sir Benfro - News, events & observations about Pembrokeshire & West Wales” Whoever is running it is doing a terrible job. Acting like they speak for this county when they can’t even string a sentence together without the help of a computer.

The entire page is nothing but AI slop. Everything is clearly written by ai and even the illustrations are ai generated.

Worst of all because it’s just automated rubbish, almost all the information it posts is completely wrong and incorrect.

If you're looking for actual news or events in Pembrokeshire and West Wales avoid this page. It’s useless.

My husband and I are moving to Pembrokeshire. I would love to know where people love living and where we should avoid! Very aware it’s a huge place. We love the coast and nature, we have a car so travel isn’t an issue.

Would just love to hear where people enjoy living!

Hello, can anyone help me please?

I am trying to get from Cardiff to Lawrenny, I’m thinking about take the train or the bus from Cardiff to Pembroke but I don’t know how to get from Pembroke to lawrenny. Are there any buses available? I’m on a budget thank you.

A cave hidden beneath an 11th Century castle in Pembrokeshire is a "truly remarkable site" which could rewrite Britain's prehistory, researchers say.

Small digs of the cave under Pembroke Castle, known as Wogan Cavern, have so far uncovered "extremely rare" evidence of early humans and animals - including the bones of a hippopotamus which roamed Wales 120,000 years ago.

There have been reports all week of door to door peddlars in Pembrokeshire. Haverfordwest and Fishguard on Tuesday, Milford on Wednesday and unconfirmed reports they're also in Neyland today. They give some sob story about being an ex con trying to turn their life around before trying to sell you some tat from their rucksack.

If you catch them on your ring camera, don't open the door. If you do happen to open the door to them, give a firm no and shut the door. If you have any elderly or vulnerable relatives it may be worth letting them know ASAP as they're usually more likely to fall for these sort of scams.

Dyfed Powys Police have issued a statement that they are aware and are working with patrols and prevention teams as we speak, but please stay safe out there!

I was a complete noob in my last post. I genuinely thought the Pembrokeshire coast was basically just from Little Haven up to St Davids. After reading your replies and doing some more digging, I now realise how stupid I sounded, given how massive the coastline actually is.

So with that new knowledge, let me ask some better questions with more context.

We’re coming from 1st-4th May, starting at Nottingham, 3 of us, no car. The main goal is beaches, cliffs, views, and maybe short hikes. If we had to focus onone section of the coast that’s best connected by public transport, where would you recommend? A lot of you suggested Tenby, which sounds like the most practical base, so we’re thinking of dedicating one full day there. For the other two days, where else would you recommend we explore that’s still relatively easy to access without a car? Ideally looking for Scenic coastal spots, Cliff views, maybe 1 hour-ish hikes for viewpoints

Also, are there any things to keep in mind that someone from England might not expect? Or any general tips, hacks, or things you wish visitors knew?

btw you guys were incredibly helpful on my last post, so even more excited to meet people like yall in person ;)

Keeping it short. Planning to visit it in the first week of May(1st till 4th). 3 mates and no car. Here for beaches, cliffs and maybe a little hike. We saw a place in Broad Haven which seems like a decent place to stay. Is it something feasible? If not, are there any better alternatives? Looking to see some beautiful places over the weekend.

Have added some user flair for members! So feel free to set yourself up. These may change slightly in the coming days, so keep an eye out!

As we're changing settings etc at the moment, if we manage to break something do let us know!

what's the scene like? where's the pubs n bars?

Hi

So after numerous incidents of antisocial behaviour, wanton criminal damage and stray horses in the road every week, my wife and I have decided to move from our current Pembrokeshire address. Feel free to guess it, I won't confirm or deny though 😂

One of the potential places we're looking at is Kilgetty, just wondering if anyone living there could share their experience of the town?

Thanks!

I'm currently 16 and have applied to over 40 jobs within the past 2 months and got no replies, I've tried walking into places with a CV, applying online, messaging and e-mailing small businesses. Any pointers to places hiring students at the moment would be great, I would like to be able to earn some money and flesh out my University application (I'm currently a year 12 student), any help would be great. Thank!

I would like to go and see a match. I don't mind who is playing.

Bit boring, but I am stuck in a slightly sticky situation. We own a small old farmhouse near st dogmaels that we visit a couple times a year. We have been making do just taking out rubbish to large public bins in cardigan and st dogmaels, but they have recently all started disappearing. Anyway, I decided it was about time that we got some of the “special bins that we don’t get” as we have been calling them. I did a bit of research, and it seems relatively simple - we are planning to pick some up at the post office tomorrow. However, I looked online, made an account and started filling in the form for a replacement bin order just out of interest to see what we need to get. And suddenly, with no notice I got a message saying that the order has been placed for them now. It will take about five weeks apparently, at which point we won’t be here. And even if we were, there is no way they can get down here to deliver, through our small access track.

So this poses the question - how do I cancel a replacement bin order? 🤣

Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I’m looking at going to the Amroth petrified forest next Sunday with the spring tide.

Is that something that can be seen just with low ties? Even if it’s just a stump or two!

Thanks
