Spittal is a small village that lies approximately halfway between Haverfordwest and Fishguard, near the village of Wolf's Castle in the county of Pembrokeshire. It gets its name from the same root as Hospital and Spitalfields in London, being a place of refuge from the plague.
The village has a population of approximately 500 people. In 2004 a brand new primary school was built in the village to educate approximately 120 pupils some of whom live outside the village itself. There is a post office, a local community hall , a village green and a graveyard that is attached to the local church St. Marys. There is a pub in the village called the Pump on the Green .
