About the area
Pembroke Dock facts
Pembroke Dock is a movement corridor through Swansea, with verges, embankments and regularly disturbed ground alongside it. It is part of the Haverfordwest, Tenby & the Pembrokeshire Coast area, within about 30 miles of Swansea.
- The town grew from the farming settlement of Paterchurch after the Royal Navy dockyard opened there in 1814.
- The Cleddau Bridge, opened in 1975, carries the A477 across the river to Neyland.
- Carries regular traffic or rail movement through the Swansea area.
- Verges and embankments are cut on a maintenance cycle rather than left permanently untouched.

Local habitat
Where to look
Verges, embankments, drainage channels, retaining walls and disturbed ground are the main places where invasive or escaping garden plants can establish around Pembroke Dock.
This is habitat guidance, not a claim that a particular property or site is infested.
