Narberth (Arberth, in Welsh) is  typical old town of Pembrokeshires.The population is around 1,900, a third of which are Welsh-speaking. Founded around a Welsh court it later became a Norman stronghold on the Landsker Line - the supposed geographical language boundary between the Welsh-speaking and English-speaking areas in southwest Wales.

The town plays a high-profile role in Welsh mythology, where it is the chief palace of Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, and a key setting in both the first and third branches of the Mabinogi. Its most famous son is possibly Sir Thomas Foley, the "Hero of the Battle of the Nile" in the Napoleonic Wars.

Narberth became the headquarters of the "hundred" of Narberth - an administrative division of the area. It was also once a marcher borough which George Owen described in 1603 as one of nine Pembrokeshire "boroughs in decay".

Things have improved somewhat today! Attractions include an art gallery, a museum, the former town hall (the Queen's Hall) and a ruined castle. The Queen's Hall has recently played host to several live bands. The Blackpool Mill and Heatherton and Oakwood Theme Parks are nearby. There are several excellent eateries and food shops which we would heartily recommend and a wide variety of excellent shops for a town of its size.

Narberth is twinned with the English town, Ludlow, and both towns celebrate an annual Food Festival. Narberth is a mile south of the A40 trunk road (on the A478) and benefits from a railway station on the line to Tenby and Pembroke.
