Maiden Wells is a small village located 1.6 miles south of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire in Wales, UK. The earliest reference to Maiden Wells is 'Mayden Welle' in 1336. The population is currently around 350. It is a sought-after village with house-hunters, with its close proximity to the town centre, but far enough away from town to enjoy rolling fields, woodland and rural sea views in the southeast. The average price of a detached 3-bedroom house in the village is approximately �245,000 (2005 est.)

Maiden Wells gets its name from the natural well in the centre of the village. It was thought to have been visited by Maidens in connection with a fertility rite. The well still exists, but is now located on private property and is inaccessible to the public.

Maiden Wells in the past had a public house, post office and petrol station - but all of these disappeared in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Today, Maiden wells is a quiet, sleepy village located on the main arterial route to the Texaco oil refinery nearby. The amount of traffic, mainly lorries, passing through the village and often ignoring the 30 MPH speed limit has prompted much concern with residents in Maiden Wells and neighbouring villages.
