Visit the stunning coastal setting of Milford Haven.
At the mouth of the River Cleddau, the protected harbour of Milford Haven has welcomed seafarers since Viking times: the name is said to be derived from Norse. In the 18th century it was the home of Nantucket whaling fleets, and later the centre of the Welsh fishing industry. The Milford Haven Museum traces this fascinating history with drawings, maps, photographs and artefacts.
A few miles up the estuary is the mighty Pembroke Castle, a medieval fortress that’s largely intact. It was the birthplace of Henry Tudor – father of Henry VIII – and has an excellent exhibition centre. Also within reach, and well worth visiting, are Carew Castle and Haverfordwest Castle.
