Welsh spitfire museum

Battle of Britain enthusiasts will find this small but fascinating collection housed in what feels more like an aircraft hangar than a traditional museum. The Spitfire on display is the real deal - a genuine Mark IX that saw action during the Second World War, though the exact provenance varies depending on which volunteer guide you chat to. Walking around the aircraft, you can peer into the cockpit and get properly close to the machine that helped turn the tide of the war.

Families with older children who have an interest in military history will get the most from a visit here. Younger kids might lose interest after twenty minutes, but aviation buffs could easily spend a couple of hours examining the exhibits and reading the detailed information boards. The museum also houses various RAF memorabilia, flight suits, and period photographs that paint a vivid picture of wartime aviation.

Location-wise, you're just outside Haverfordwest, making it an easy detour if you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Nolton Cross Caravan Park or Creampots Touring. The museum fits well with a broader exploration of Pembrokeshire's wartime heritage, and it's close enough to the coast that you could combine it with a trip to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park for a proper day out.
