Where the River Bends

The village of Hook stands on a sharp bend of the River Cleddau as it meanders its way via the Milford Haven Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean.

 

Not only did the village derive its name from this 'hook' in the river but over the years relied upon it for its very existence.

 

The only direct link with the commercial centre at Haverfordwest was, for generations, by boat,... there was no road to the village of Hook!

 

(Extract from Where the river bends, An illustrated history of Hook, published by the Hook History Society in 2012)
