The ParishThe parish of Egremont lies in the extreme west of Carmarthenshire, indeed it is the most westernmost parish in its county and forms an extensive part of the border with neighbouring Pembrokeshire, the parish extends as a peninsula of Carmarthenshire deep into its neighbouring county. Egremont is located roughly 5 miles north of the small Pembrokeshire market town of Narberth and sits on the B4313 road which connects Narberth through to Fishguard. There is little to modern day Egremont, not even meriting a full entry on modern Ordnance Survey maps which only record Llandre Egremont, the late 18th century house which stands immediately east of the B4313 crossing of the Eastern Cleddau river which here forms part of the county border. The area is very much farming countryside with pastoral farming in the main albeit interspersed with arable, some quarrying of local stone for building also diversified the economy. The Eastern Cleddau drains the parish southwards merging with its western counterpart to form the northern reaches of Milford Haven and thence to the Irish Sea. Egremont is sited at around 30 metres above the sea in fairly gentle terrain broken only by the rounded hill of Marle which rises behind the hamlet to almost 70 metres and forms something of a local high point. Egremont parish was one of Carmarthenshire's smaller versions, covering a little under 1,100 acres it would have supported a population of close to 150 parishioners. Like most of Wales Egremont is not mentioned in Domesday Book which did not cover this area. |
