Bethesda (/bɛˈθɛzdə/;[1] Welsh: [bɛθ'ɛsda]) is a small village in the community of Llawhaden, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It lies on a bend of the B4313 road in the valley of the Eastern Cleddau river a few miles north north west of Narberth.[2]

The village is marked on pre-1850 maps as situated in the parish of Llawhaden.[3][4]

Chapel

To the west of the village is a Welsh Independent (Congregational) chapel, first built in 1797, rebuilt in 1848 and a graveyard added in 1849. It was restored in 1871 and is a Grade II listed building.[5][6][7] A history of the chapel and details of the lives of the incumbents was published in 1871 when the congregation numbered 150.[8] The chapel was still active in 2006.[3]
