Hook is a medium-sized village and parish on the Western Cleddau in Pembrokeshire. The population of the parish was 656 at the 2001 census.
It is a rapidly expanding village. However it was much larger in the nineteenth century, when it was a major shipping point for the local anthracite which was brought to the quay from inland collieries by the Hook Tramway.[1]
