Pembroke's
train station
is east of the town centre on Station Road. The
tourist office
, on Commons Road, parallel to Main Street (Easter-Oct daily 10am-5.30pm; tel 01646/622388), provides a useful, free town guide and has limited information on the Pembrokeshire National Park. If you decide to
stay
, don't miss
Beech House B&B
, 78 Main St (tel 01646/683746; under A?40), which easily outdoes places charging twice as much - one room even boasts a four-poster. If it is full, try the slightly pricier
Merton Place House
, a few doors up at 3 East Back (tel 01646/684796; under A?40), which has a pleasant walled garden at the back. More expensive places in town aren't great shakes, but you could stay in Lamphey, a couple of miles away. Trains continue from Pembroke to Pembroke Dock, two miles northwest, where
Irish Ferries
(tel 0870/517 1717,
) operates two daily services to Rosslare in Ireland.
For
food
, try the
Pantry
, 4 Main St, during the daytime and early evening, or the well-cooked bar food at the
King's Arms Hotel
, 13 Main St. Further along, at no. 63, the expensive
Left Bank
(tel 01646/622333) serves well-thought-out French cuisine in stylish surroundings. The best of the dozens of
pubs
is the
Old Cross Saws
, 109 Main St, although it's hard to beat a summer evening on the veranda overlooking the Mill Pond at the
Waterman's Arms
, over the bridge on Northgate Street. Other useful information
