Llangwm Pill is a picturesque coastal feature located in the county of Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is a small, narrow inlet or creek that extends inland from the Cleddau Estuary. The word "pill" is derived from the Welsh language, meaning a tidal inlet or creek.

This charming waterway is surrounded by lush greenery and offers breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding landscape. It is influenced by the tides, resulting in water levels that rise and fall throughout the day. At high tide, the creek is a haven for small boats and provides a peaceful setting for leisure activities such as kayaking and paddleboarding.

The banks of Llangwm Pill are teeming with wildlife, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. The diverse ecosystem supports a variety of bird species, including herons, egrets, and kingfishers. The surrounding marshes and mudflats provide an ideal habitat for wading birds and other coastal creatures.

The village of Llangwm, from which the creek takes its name, sits nearby and offers a charming and traditional Welsh atmosphere. Visitors can explore the narrow streets, admire the quaint cottages, and enjoy the warm hospitality of the locals.

Llangwm Pill is not only a natural beauty but also holds historical significance. In the past, it served as a busy port, facilitating trade and transportation of goods. Today, it remains a peaceful and idyllic location where visitors can enjoy the tranquility of nature and immerse themselves in the rich history and natural beauty of Pembrokeshire.
