	County Town: Haverfordwest County Population: 115,000 (estimate)
	Pembrokeshire has an area of 1,590 sq km (614 sq miles), and the long coastline is much indented with numerous small islands offshore. The mainland has a predominantly undulating landscape, and much of the county has been designated as the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. In the north the park includes the Preseley Hills, where Foel Cwmcerwyn reaches 538 m (1,760 feet) at its peak.
	Pembrokeshire has many prehistoric remains, and although the Romans conquered the area they established no permanent settlements there. In the early 6th century St David founded many churches throughout South Wales, and his shrine at the then town of St David's later became an important ecclesiastical centre and place of pilgrimage throughout the Middle Ages. The Normans conquered the area in the early 1100s, and Flemish immigrants later settled there in the 12th century, at which time construction had begun on the cathedral at St David's.
	Agriculture and tourism are of considerable importance to the region, with Pembrokeshire's beautiful coastline and abundance of marine wildlife drawing tourists. Also of note are St David's, the smallest city in the UK with a magnificent 12th century cathedral, Carningli Common, a short distance west of Fishguard featuring remains of an Iron Age fort, and Pembroke Castle, where Henry VIII was born, being one of the biggest Norman castles in the UK.
