The community consists essentially of the villages of Nolton and Roch and a number of hamlets including Cuffern and Druidston.

The 5 miles (8 km) coastline of the community consists of picturesque cliffs and dunes, and is followed by the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

At the north end is the 2 mile (3 km) long Newgale beach, which is popular for bathing and surfing.

Starting at Roch Bridge a footpath follows the Brandybrook valley east through ancient Eweston Wood, past New Mill and Tucking (woollen) Mill, both now derelict with the buildings gradually submerging into the undergrowth.

Nolton is a village and parish on the coast of St Brides Bay, 5.5 miles (9 km) west of Haverfordwest.

The name was originally old-tun and the dedication of the church to St Madoc suggests that the place was a pre-existing Welsh settlement appropriated by English immigrants around the time of the Norman conquest.
