Maiden Wells

Maiden Wells is a small village located 1.6 miles (2.6 km) south of Pembroke in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

In the past, the village had a public house, post office and a petrol station - but all have long since closed.

Maiden Wells has suffered with very heavy traffic since the 1960s when the Texaco (now Valero) oil refinery and Pembroke Power Station opened.

Even though the road through Maiden Wells is a C-road designed for light traffic, by 2015 around six thousand vehicles a day were passing through the village including many vans, lorries and oil tankers.

Following numerous complaints and traffic accidents, Pembrokeshire County Council began a consultation with residents in the summer of 2010 about building a new road bypass.
