Pembroke Parish

It is named after English aristocrat William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke (1580–1630).

It occupies most of the short peninsula which juts from the central north coast of Bermuda's main island, and surrounds the city of Hamilton on three sides (the fourth being taken up by the shore of Hamilton Harbour).

As such, its shape bears some passing resemblance to the county of Pembrokeshire in Wales.

The peninsula juts into the eastern side of the Great Sound, the large expanse of water which dominates the geography of western Bermuda.

Other notable features of Pembroke include Fort Hamilton and Government House.
