South Pembrokeshire Cluster Network serves a population of approximately 54,000 in a mainly rural environment with 99.1% of the Cluster population living in an area classified as rural, with high deprivation in one urban area (Pembroke Dock). The Locality is a busy tourist destination where the population of some towns can double in size during the holiday periods and also has a steady influx of visitors throughout the year. The area is a popular retirement location, which contributes to the higher-than-average number of over 65’s and 85,s. The Locality hosts many popular sporting events all year around e.g. Iron Man, and the county is home to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
