Lawrenny is a village and parish in Pembrokeshire. It's in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, on the peninsula of the River Cleddau estuary, and during the summer months is a popular place for boating and water-skiing. The village was mentioned in series 3 of Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages.

Get in

The village is 9 mi (14 km) by car from Pembroke and has no bus connection.

Sitting as it does in a remote corner of Britain's only coastal national park, Lawrenny naturally has poor transport links. However, the adventurous can reach Lawrenny by boat, navigating up the Milford Haven estuary to Lawrenny Quay.
