Llangwm

Thought to have been a Flemish settlement in the Middle Ages, its inhabitants made their living from fishing and harvesting shellfish. In the 16th century, oysters were exported from Llangwm by boat and pack horse across south Wales and the Welsh borders.

LlangwmSmugglers were said to have hidden contraband in a cave in Knap Lane.  The village was famous for the independent spirit and industriousness of its womenfolk, who in Victorian times travelled on foot to Haverfordwest and Tenby to sell fish or oysters, carried in large panniers on their backs.
