The Area
The Pembrey Inn is very much the heart of the village which sits a mile from the historic town of Burry Port with its pretty harbour and 4 miles from the ancient town of Kidwelly with its famous castle. Pembrey and the surrounding area is steeped in history and natural beauty. The Pembrey Country Park and Cefn Sidan Sands are set against the spectacular backdrop of the Gower Peninsula and overlooking the coastal scenery of Carmarthen Bay. The Park is one of Wales’ top visitor attractions providing a unique blend of coast and countryside. Many visitors come to Pembrey to enjoy the freedom to wander around 500 acres of glorious parkland, to take advantage of one of the best beaches in the UK, for the fabulous golf courses, ancient and tranquil villages, monuments steeped with Celtic legends and the famous British Automobile Racing Club "Pembrey Circuit", just under a 5 minute drive from the inn, to mention just a few. A list of attractions and useful links for the area. |

Rt Hon Ian Douglas Smith |
The Cefn Sidan Sands (English translation: "Silken Back") has been the site of many shipwrecks. Adeline Coqueline, niece to the Consort of Napoleon, Josephine, was travelling aboard La Jeune Emma with her father, when the ship came to grief here in 1828. Both sadly perished and are buried at St Illtyd's Church in Pembrey. In fact, from 1753 to 1996, 14 ships of note came to a tragic end on this stretch of water, carrying cargoes of brandy, rum, sugar and most latterly, an unnamed vessel from Morocco met her demise and was found to be carrying £800,000 of cannabis resin (1996 value).
