Tips from the Community
The small village of Uzmaston occupies a nice spot on the Western Cleddau. Its 13th-century St Ismael's Parish Church is an interesting, Grade-II listed building that was restored in the 1990s. The village is linked to Haverfordwest by the Frolic, a footpath that runs alongside the river.

Boulston Old Hall or Old Manor are the ruins of a medieval and 16th century building. Not much remains, but you can make out some 6ft thick walls, with openings here and there that lead into the cellar of the original Medieval Hall. Also remains of what was once two multi-storey towers at either end of the great hall and a series of walled courtyards and water gardens.

The construction of Slebech Hall began in the 1750's and on completion was one of Wale's finest Georgian Manor Houses. Stables and coach houses surround a central courtyard. The hall is now a romantic hideaway, offering rooms, food and events.

Lovely views from here along the Eastern Cleddau, upstream towards Blackpool Mill (out of sight) across the River to Minwear Pill and downstream along the banks of Oxland and Peepout Woods.

A lovely little park with lots of benches overlooking the river. It also has a skate park and lots of green space round it.
