Welcome
to Milford Haven
Arriving 6th October
Milford Haven (Welsh: Aberdaugleddau, meaning "mouth
of the two Rivers Cleddau") is a town in Pembrokeshire, West
Wales. It was founded as a whaling centre in the 18th century and
grew into a major port. It is the largest town in Pembrokeshire,
with a population of 14,000. Attractions in the town include Fort
Hubberstone, built in 1863 to defend the port, the docks and marina,
and the ruins of an observatory. The town museum, located centrally
in the docks area, is housed in the town's oldest building, the
Custom House which dates back to 1797. The town's main industry
today is oil refining. Milford Haven is also the natural harbour
on which the town stands (and from which the town takes its name).
Since the mid 1990s tourism has provided a base for travellers,
from
which to explore the local coastline, and growing employment
opportunities for locals.
