Pembrokeshire Coalfield Pembrokeshire Coalfield The Pembrokeshire Coalfield in West Wales is one of the smallest British coalfields, but continuously worked from the 14th to 20th centuries. The main coalfield extends from Saundersfoot on Carmarthen Bay westwards to Broad Haven on St Brides Bay. A small detached portion of the field is centred on Newgale on St Brides Bay.

Coal seams within the Pembrokeshire Coalfield are traditionally referred to as veins. The following sequence is recognised in
