The North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway had a halt at New Inn.[1]
Richard Fenton described New Inn in his 1811 Historical Tour through Pembrokeshire –
…New Inn, a public-house of no very imposing appearance, yet proving no small accommodation in the long stage across the mountains from Haverfordwest to Cardigan, and where a slender viaticum for man and horse is absolutely necessary to fit them for the arduous task of winding up the painful ascent of Bwlch Gwynt.[3]
