Everything about Pembroke Parish Bermuda totally explained
Pembroke Parish is one of the nine parishes of
Bermuda. It is named for 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 Harbor). As such, its shape bears some passing resemblance to the former 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. In the east, Pembroke meets
Devonshire Parish. As with most of Bermuda's parishes, it covers just over 2.3 square miles (about 6.0 km² or 1500 acres).
Natural features in Pembroke include
Spanish Point, and
Point Shares, as well as numerous small islands off Point Shares.
Other notable features of Pembroke include
Fort Hamilton and
Government House.
Pembroke Marsh East was designated a
Ramsar site on May 11, 1999.
