Narberth Market Town
Narberth, Pembrokeshire
Narberth has changed a lot over the years, but one thing that has remained constant is its independent spirit. When I was growing up here in the 90s there were a few basic shops on the high street and around twenty grizzled old pubs. But the town had an arts scene bursting forth that brought all sorts of live music and performance to this small Welsh town. They say that the arts are a great regenerator, and you can see this played out in Arberth. Today it is an effervescent little place with a robust sense of community, a thriving high street packed with independent shops and cafes, and a full calendar of events. The town also sits on the verdant fringes of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park that stretches inland along the banks of the River Cleddau. So when you’d like to step away from the bustle there are quiet footpaths to follow through meadows and woodland. Not to mention the gorgeous Pembrokeshire coastline within easy reach.
