New Hedges is a village in the community of St Mary Out Liberty, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is midway between the coastal towns of Saundersfoot and Tenby. It lies astride the main A478 road that links Tenby with Cardigan and is a short distance from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.[1][2]
The eastern part of the village lies within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, whose 2007 settlements capacity study describes New Hedges:
a medium-sized linear village settlement set within undulating landform along the A478, with the older part of the village by-passed by a new straight line. There is no tangible sense of place and the character has been much modified by the extensive caravan parks all along its western side and to the east and southeast. The eastern edge of the village adjoins the National Park boundary. There are limited views east towards the coast.[3]
