Clarbeston Road

Idyllically situated in the tranquil region of South West Wales, is the serene village of Clarbeston Road. Bordered by the beauty of the Pembrokeshire National Park, Clarbeston Road is perfect for couples who are looking for that romantic weekend break or for families who want a restful escape from the troubles of everyday life. Spend your days here wandering the vast landscape of rich green fields and rolling hills, or cast your eyes up to the clear night skies and glance at the stars. The village also has its own railway station with links to other towns and villages that are a little further a field, so why not relax for the day, leave the car and take a scenic train ride through the delights of the county.

The wooded areas around Llys Y Fran reservoir are a great place to spot various species of small mammals such as stoats, shrews, voles and weasels. Bird watchers will be impressed with the extensive list of 140 species of birds that can be found on the lake including herons, coots, moorhens and swans. The grassland areas are a great spot to enjoy a picnic or for the kids to play outdoor games like kite flying.

The nearby town of Haverfordwest has plenty on offer. Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire and still has its own town sheriff-one of only two in Wales! The town has a historic castle in the centre which was established in the Norman times in the year 1120. However much of the structure which remains today dates back to 1290. A visit to the town museum also makes for an interesting trip. Here you can learn all about the people and past of Haverfordwest as well as see the gallery full of art work reflecting the past and present scenes of the town. If art is your interest there are several galleries dotted around the town including the Andrew Bailey Gallery, Sheep Shop and Perryn Butler. Haverfordwest also has plenty of high street brand shops, supermarkets, a library, cinema and a recently built modern leisure centre complete with swimming pool.

If you’re interested in getting out and about in the countryside then a walk around Blackpool Mill and the old church of St John the Baptise is a must. The mill is known to have existed from the 16th century. During the next 200 years the mill was used as an iron forge and the nearby woodland used as charcoal to heat the furnaces. During the 19th century the mill became uneconomic so it was turned into a grist mill, which is the building that still stands today.

From the 12th century the Knights of St John of Jerusalem held the Slebech estate. It was founded as a religious charity to aid pilgrims travelling to the Holy City. Today, all that remains of the knights headquarters is the small church. The majority of the walls are still standing, however the roof has been completely removed and put on the new church which sits adjacent to the A40. Despite its ruined state the church is an extremely romantic and isolated spot. It’s possible to get marriages blessed here which is a great excuse to visit this wonderful place!
