Haverfordwest
Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire in Wales. It represents the county's primary business and administrative centre. Haverfordwest is the most populous urban region in Pembrokeshire. However, according to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 12042 people, which is a slim reduction from the 13367 inhabitants recorded in the 2001 Census. The town has been English-speaking for centuries, however since the town markets traded the items of Welsh farmers to the north and east, there has always been a substantial Welsh-speaking prominence and the air of a 'frontier' town. The suburban area of Prendergast appears to have originated as an extramural Welsh dormitory, dating from the times when all farming trade needed to travel through the borough, and the afraid Normans prior to the break down of Anglo-Norman power in 1136 attempted to prevent Welshmen bearing arms from entering within the castle walls after nightfall. In accordance with its status as a sub regional hub-town, Haverfordwest continues to function as Pembrokeshire's primary business and retail centre. Recent years have seen the development of the river-side shopping centre. More recently still there has actually been considerable retail development in the residential area of Withybush on the borders of the town, with the opening of a variety of big commercial chain stores. Haverfordwest is roughly 6 miles (10 km) miles east of the village of Broad Haven, part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and Britain's only coastal national park, which draws in thousands of visitors annually. The closest boundary of the park is at Hanton Bridge 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southeast. The town is also home to a variety of football, rugby, cricket and kayaking clubs.
