West Wales might be famous for its rolling countryside and beautiful coastline, but it is also home to some of the country’s best and most beautiful towns and villages. Among the very best of those is the small town of Narberth. With a population of fewer then 3,000 people, Narberth is situated on the eastern end of Pembrokeshire, 11 miles from the county’s biggest town of Haverfordwest and 21 miles from Carmarthen in neighbouring Carmarthenshire.
To call it a hidden gem would be pushing it - it is by now a well-known gem, regarded as one of the best places to live and work in not just Pembrokeshire but the whole of Wales. The Sunday Times has previously declared it the best place to live in Wales, while other accolades just keep coming, from award-winning chefs, award-winning hotels, and regular appearances in lists of the most trendy places to set up home.

So what makes it so special, apart from the pretty high street, the independent gift, jewellery, antique, and butcher shops, the quirky cafes and the unchained bars, and the fact that you can walk around and breathe it all in within a matter of minutes?
