The constituency of PreseliPembrokeshire is situated in the far South West of Wales.
The main towns in the constituency are the ancient county town of Haverfordwest, the ports of Milford Haven and Fishguard and Britain’s smallest city, St Davids.
The constituency is predominately English speaking with a Welsh language area in the north of the county above the Landsker Line (the line of medieval castles built to separate the Celts and the Normans).
Constituency boundaries are subject to regular review by an independent Boundary Commission, usually once every 10 to 15 years, to keep the electorate of each constituency as close to the national average as is reasonably possible.
Constituencies were long based on boroughs (burghs in Scotland) and counties.
Today, constituencies in England are mostly subdivisions of administrative counties, with each constituency being comprised of a number of whole wards (for the purposes of the Boundary Commissions, unitary authorities, metropolitan boroughs and London boroughs are treated as separate administrative counties).
