[2] Camrose is an anglicization of the Welsh Camros, meaning "crooked" or "broken moor".

[3] The village contains a substantial Norman motte, which is often referred to as a "Landsker castle" although it lies far to the south (English) side of that linguistic boundary.

A small area, north of Dudwell Mountain, has been Welsh-speaking in modern times but was probably English-speaking before the Enclosures at the end of the 18th century.

The parish church is dedicated to the 6th-century Breton prince and Welsh saint Isfael[4] and is a grade II* listed building.

Following the most recent election, it is currently represented by the former leader of Pembrokeshire County Council, Jamie Adams.
