Pembroke, VA

united states

Pembroke is a small mountain town in southwestern Virginia's Giles County, sitting along US Route 460 where it crosses the New River into West Virginia. Most visitors arrive from Blacksburg and Virginia Tech (25 miles east) or from Princeton, WV to the west. The town serves as a gateway to New River recreation, with kayaking and fishing drawing outdoor enthusiasts. Pembroke's historic bridge carries US 460 directly across the New River, making it one of the few incorporated Virginia towns positioned right on this major waterway.
