Etymology

There is no evidence for the assertion that the village of Hubberston is named after the ninth-century Viking

Norman-French personal name.^[7]

History

The village was built around the 15th century church, St David's, a Grade I listed building.^[8] By 1800, a mail coach was operating between London and Hubberston, arriving in the evening and returning the following day.^[9] Fort Hubberstone is a large battery located in the village. The fort was abandoned after World War I, but during World War II was in use once again as an air raid shelter and army camp for American military personnel.^[10]

Transport

Hubberston is separated from Milford Haven by Hubberston Pill, a once tidal estuary. Access is via Victoria Bridge, which is reached via the

A4076 through Milford Haven. A circular bus service operates, providing access to Milford Haven.^[11] The village is served by Milford Haven railway station
