Haverfordwest
Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire in Wales. It represents the county's primary industrial and administrative centre. Haverfordwest is the most populous urban area in Pembrokeshire. Nevertheless, according to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 12042 people, which is a slight decrease from the 13367 inhabitants recorded in the 2001 Census. The town has actually been English-speaking for centuries, however due to the fact that the town markets traded the products of Welsh farmers to the north and east, there has constantly been a significant Welsh-speaking prominence and the air of a 'frontier' town. The suburban area of Prendergast looks to have stemmed as an extramural Welsh dormitory, dating from the times when all farming trade needed to travel through the borough, and the afraid Normans prior to the destruction of Anglo-Norman power in 1136 tried to prevent Welshmen bearing arms from entering within the castle walls after nightfall. In accordance with its status as a sub local hub-town, Haverfordwest continues to work as Pembrokeshire's primary business and retail centre. Recent years have seen the development of the river-side shopping centre. More recently still there has been significant retail development in the suburban area of Withybush on the borders of the town, with the opening of a variety of large commercial chain stores. Haverfordwest is around 6 miles (10 kilometres) miles east of the village of Broad Haven, part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and Britain's only coastal national park, which brings in countless tourists each year. The closest boundary of the park is at Hanton Bridge 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) southeast. The town is also the home of a variety of football, rugby, cricket and kayaking clubs.
