🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire, Wales, and the most populous urban area in Pembrokeshire. The suburbs include the former parish of Prendergast, Albert Town and the residential and industrial areas of Withybush (housing, retail parks, hospital, airport and show-ground).

Haverfordwest is located in a strategic position, being at the lowest crossing point of the Western Cleddau prior to the opening of the Cleddau Bridge in 1975.

Economy In accordance with its status as a sub-regional hub-town, Haverfordwest continues to serve as Pembrokeshire's principal commercial and retail centre. The development of the riverside shopping centre in Withybush on the outskirts of the town includes Marks & Spencer in 2010 and Debenham's in 2013.

A new town library opened in 2018 in the former Riverside Market building.

Concerns about the relative decline of the historic town centre compared to the growth of the retail centre at Withybush led to Welsh historian John Davies expressing his concern that Haverfordwest is becoming "a medieval town surrounded by tin sheds".
