Information about Pembroke, UK

Pembroke (Welsh: Penfro) is the traditional county town of Pembrokeshire in west Wales. However, the administrative centre and de facto county town is Haverfordwest. The town and the county derive their name from that of the cantref of Penfro: Pen = "head" or "end", and bro = "region", "country", "land", and so it means essentially "Land's End"[1].

Pembroke is located on the south Pembrokeshire peninsula on the Pembroke river which is fed by the main Cleddau estuary. Pembroke town is located at the bottom of a small valley, flanked on all sides by woodland and arable farmland.

At the 2001 census, the Community of Pembroke had a population of 7,214[2]. The town has expanded over the last 50 years with a number of new housing developments to the east and south of the town centre.
