Lawrenny

Lawrenny is a village and parish in the community and electoral ward of Martletwy in the county of Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is on a peninsula of the River Cleddau estuary upriver from Milford Haven where it branches off towards the Cresswell and Carew Rivers and is in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

==Description== The village extends down to the Estuary to Lawrenny Quay half a mile from the centre, where there is a busy yacht station and caravan park. It provides most of the central rural facilities for the Martletwy ward, mobile post office, cricket and football clubs, village hall and church. The community owns and operates the Millennium Youth Hostel and the village shop which operates what is possibly a world first: an automated service that allows members to access 24 hours to buy essentials. The system was featured on ITV Wales news in 2016. The Lawrenny Arms and the Quayside Tearooms have recently become popular destinations in the area for both boaters and walkers. The village has its own community-run broadband service which provides Internet access across the village as well as to communities on the other side of the Cleddau Estuary. The village was featured in series 3 of ''Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages'' which aired on the Channel 4 in 2016.
