About This Spring
## Overview Star Springs is a public drinking spring located in the small rural community of Star, near Pembrokeshire (historically spelled Pembrookshire), in the SA35 0AW postcode area of west Wales, UK. Nestled in the rolling countryside of this corner of Wales — a region long known for its abundance of natural water sources — Star Springs has been set up with a pipe running alongside the road, making it easy for passersby to collect water. The spring produces what visitors have described as beautiful, clean-tasting water. Like many Welsh springs, it likely draws from the ancient underlying geology of the region, which includes Ordovician and Silurian sedimentary rocks that naturally filter rainwater over long periods before it emerges at the surface. The area around Star sits within the broader Preseli Hills watershed, a landscape steeped in history and dotted with natural springs that have served local communities for centuries. Please note that while this spring has historically been used as a source of drinking water, no official water quality testing results are currently available. Visitors should use their own discretion. ## Directions 1. Head toward the small hamlet of **Star** in Pembrokeshire, Wales (postcode **SA35 0AW**). 2. The spring is located roadside — look for a section of road that has been closed off to protect the spring. 3. A pipe runs next to the road, providing access to the water flow. 4. **GPS coordinates:** 51.985245, -4.556624 — use these for precise navigation, as the hamlet is small and may not appear prominently on all maps. ## What to Expect Star Springs is a simple, roadside spring — don't expect grand infrastructure or signage. The road in the immediate vicinity of the spring has been closed off, and a pipe channels the water for easy collection. The setting is quietly beautiful, surrounded by the green, pastoral landscape typical of rural west Wales. The area is remote and peaceful, with narrow country lanes leading to the spring. Visitors should be prepared for single-track roads with passing places, which are common throughout this part of Pembrokeshire. Parking may be limited to roadside pull-offs near the spring. The Preseli Hills and the wider north Pembrokeshire countryside offer plenty of additional attractions for those making the journey, including ancient standing stones, coastal paths, and other natural springs. Star Springs makes a worthwhile stop for anyone exploring this unspoiled corner of Wales.
