Pembrokeshire (Welsh: Sir Benfro) is a county in the south-west of Wales, United Kingdom. It shares a border with Carmarthenshire and its close neighbour to the north is Ceredigion (Cardiganshire).
The county, founded in 1282 by order of Edward I of England, has long been split between its anglicised south, known as Little England beyond Wales, and Welsh north.
