Milford Haven, Port town in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Milford Haven lies along the northern shore of a deep natural harbor, with Georgian buildings arranged in a grid pattern and a modern marina. The port infrastructure accommodates large vessels while the town maintains its historical street layout alongside contemporary facilities.
Founded in 1790, the town transformed from a Viking settlement into a major trading port initially centered on whaling. The harbor's economic role shaped the community's identity for generations.
The Torch Theatre hosts regular performances, and the Milford Haven Museum displays maritime objects in a former whaling storage building.
The town is accessible by regular train services from Haverfordwest and has multiple lodging options near the waterfront area. Visit during warmer months when harbor conditions are most favorable for exploration.
The natural harbor reaches depths suitable for large oil tankers, supporting multiple refineries that shape the local economy today. This industrial presence has transformed the coastal settlement into a major energy trading hub.
