Milford Haven is situated on one of the deepest natural harbours in the world. The Milford Haven Waterway offers 22 miles of sheltered, navigable waters. Alongside activities on the water, walking routes, maritime history and art are possible focuses for a stay.
Experiences on the Waterway
Sailing, motorboating, kayaking, diving and coasteering are all possible on the Waterway. You can explore it independently or take a boat trip. These are different ways to shape your visit; specific excursions vary by provider and conditions. There are 16 designated dive sites and 10 wrecks for divers. Check access to entry points and safety conditions before a dive. The wrecks are a distinct focus in their own right.
Walking routes and getting around
From Milford Haven railway station, the Wales Coast Path can be reached at the roundabout, which is 0.1 miles away. At Milford Docks, the 1.2 km Easy Access Path runs along a paved, surfaced cycle path on a former railway line. The two routes raise different planning considerations: for the Wales Coast Path, finding your way from the station is relevant; for the cycle path at the docks, its length, surface and former railway line are important features. Local route conditions can change; check them before your visit.
The town’s history at the museum
Milford Haven Museum is located in the town’s oldest building and tells the story of whaling, fishing and Milford Haven’s naval history. Audio tours are available in English, Welsh and German. If you would like to use a particular language version, check its availability before travelling.
The town’s history also includes its former role as a strategic Royal Navy base. Milford Haven was also a landing point for Henry Tudor.
Art, theatre and Milford Waterfront
The Waterfront Gallery exhibits works by local, national and international artists, as well as craftspeople. Regularly changing exhibitions take place throughout the year. As exhibition programmes change, check current dates before visiting. The Torch Theatre presents its own full-length theatre productions and the latest blockbusters. Changing exhibitions on the one hand and theatre and film on the other offer different cultural experiences.
Milford Waterfront brings together independent shops, dining options, places to enjoy the views and gift shops. Its seasonal programme includes craft markets, food festivals, children’s activities and themed trails. Dates for individual events vary; check the latest information before travelling.
Phoenix Bowl at Milford Waterfront offers ten-pin bowling, a soft play area, arcade games and pool tables. The current offering may change; check which activities are available before visiting.
