Narberth, Pembrokeshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Narberth (Welsh: Arberth) is a town in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was founded around a Welsh court, but later became a Norman stronghold on the Landsker Line. It was once a marcher borough. Owen, in 1603, described it as one of nine Pembrokeshire "boroughs in decay"[1].
Attractions in the town include an art gallery, a museum, the former town hall and a ruined castle, while the Blackpool Mill and Oakwood Theme Park lie nearby. 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.
