^{Manorbier (/ˌmænərˈbɪər/; Welsh: Maenorbŷr [mɑɨnɔrˈbɨːr]) is a village, community and parish on the south coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. An electoral ward with the same name exists. This ward stretches inland to St Florence and had a total population at the 2011 Census of 2,083.[2]. Manorbier is twinned with Vernou-la-Celle-sur-Seine, France.}

^{The name means the 'Manor of Pŷr'. The village is served by Manorbier railway station on the West Wales Line.}

^{Fossils can be found along the stream bed, although some are of poor quality, and along the cliffs to the side of the beach the rock formations are revealed as vertical beds. The evidence of early human habitation consists of many flintmicroliths, housed in museums around the area, from the Mesolithic and Neolithic ages. The King's Quoit cromlech is the most notable monument in the local area and is to be found to the south east of Manorbier bay and beach.}

^{Later evidence points to occupation of The Dak with the finding of a perforated mace head as well as Bronze age burial mounds on the Ridgeway. Fortifications also seem to have been prominent including an Iron Ageenclosure near Manorbier station and the site of a multivallate, meaning multiple ditches, promontory fort at Old Castle Head where there are remains of hut platforms within the ditches. A well-restored lime kiln is in Mud Lane behind the castle. To the east of Manorbier, on the side of the road to Lydstep, is an area of strip lynchets dating to early Anglo Saxon times and perhaps as early as the Bronze Age.}

^{The Norman knight Odo de Barri was granted the lands of Manorbier, Penallyand Begelly in gratitude for his military help in conquering Pembrokeshire after 1103. The first Manorbier Castle was motte and bailey style, with the stone walls being added in the next century by later Normans. Giraldus Cambrensis, son of William de Barri, was born in the village in 1146, and called it "the pleasantest place in Wales".[3]}

^{St James's parish church dates from the 12th century and is a Grade I listed building.[4] A large number of other buildings and structures in the parish are listed.[5]}

^{There was a World War II Royal Air Force airfield, RAF Manorbier, which was operational from 1933 to 1 September 1946.[6]}
