Dentists herbrandston dental health practice
Herbrandston is a large coastal village (and community) on the north side of the River Cleddau, in southern Pembrokeshire, Wales, to the west of Milford Haven and Hakin and east of St Ishmael's. The village has a population of 1,523, 15% of which is Welsh-speaking. Before 1960 and the building of the ESSO oil refinery, the village only had a population of 200; as infrastructure grew, so did the population. The size of the village increased within a matter of years, as housing estates associated with the refinery were built.

History
Herbrandston's name derives from a Norman or Flemish settler in Pembrokeshire, named Herbrand, who, soon after the Norman Conquest, settled here. It was part of the historical hundred of Roose.
Church
St Mary's church in the village contains a worn effigy of what appears to be a 14th-century knight holding a sword. Its tower has two levels; the third level, which contained battlements, was removed between 1740 and 1770. The village green was the site of an annual Hiring Fair, held on 12 August.
Thankful village
Herbrandston is one of only 14 doubly Thankful Villages in the UK, in that it suffered no fatalities during either World War I or World War II.
