Wisemans Bridge is a small hamlet and holiday resort on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path between Amroth and Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is part of the community and parish of Amroth.^[1]

History

In the 19th century local high-quality coal was shipped out of Wisemans Bridge in vessels of 50 or 60 tons.^[2] The footpath linking Wisemans Bridge and Coppet Hall beach was once a railway track used to transport coal to Saundersfoot Harbour.^[3]^[4]

In 1943, Winston Churchill visited the area as the allies practised for the D Day landings.^[5]
