*************

Freshwater East is a village in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The majority of the village is on the cliff overlooking the bay. It is approximately 7 miles (11 km) from Pembroke by road, and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Lamphey, and is in the parish and community of Lamphey. Freshwater East is the site of a Green Coast Award Beach.[1]

There is evidence of prehistoric occupation to the east of the village, where there is an earthwork.[2] Freshwater is marked on a 1578 parish map, but apparently as a coastal place, rather than a parish.[3]

In more modern times, the stream would provide fresh water for ships, giving it its name. In Victorian times it became established as a bathing venue.[4] The beach is named as Freshwater East on a pre-1850 parish map, with little sign of a settlement, apart from a large house named Portclew (probably built around 1800[5]), and a chapel.[6]

In 1860, county horse races were held on the beach.[4]

The 2011 census population was 250.[7]

Situation

The village is on the Wales Coast Path and in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.[2] To the west is Trewent Point, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), covering some 64 hectares.[8]

Amenities

A coastal bus service connects with Pembroke and Pembroke Dock, and the surrounding area including Lamphey railway station on the Pembroke Dock branch of the West Wales Line operated by Transport for Wales Rail. Trains stop on request.[9][10][4]

Surfing is possible in winter, and the beach is popular in summer. There is a cafe, toilet and parking.[11] The Freshwater Inn is the village pub, serving food. The dunes, known as The Burrows, are a nature reserve.[4]
