About Haverfordwest

The county town sits at the heart of Pembrokeshire like a proper Welsh market hub, all steep streets and independent shops radiating out from the ancient castle ruins. Haverfordwest feels refreshingly real - no tourist tat here, just a working town where locals still pop to the weekly market and the high street actually has butchers and bakers rather than chain stores.

Castle ruins dominate the skyline, though it's the surrounding countryside that really shines. Cleddau Woodlands stretch along the river valley, offering lovely walks through oak and ash woodland where you'll spot red kites circling overhead. The tidal reaches of the Western Cleddau snake through the landscape, creating a network of creeks and mudflats that draw serious birdwatchers.

Venture out to Boulston Church remains for a bit of medieval atmosphere, or take the kids to Freystrop Recreation Park if they need to burn off energy. Saint Justinian's provides a peaceful spot for reflection, while The Hanging Stone offers intriguing glimpses into the area's ancient past.

Getting here couldn't be easier - the A40 sweeps you straight into town from both directions, and there's a decent train service from Swansea. It's roughly 20 minutes to the coast at Dale or Broad Haven, making this an excellent base for exploring both inland Pembrokeshire and the spectacular coastal path.

Staying at one of the holiday parks scattered around the town makes perfect sense. You're close enough to nip in for supplies or a proper pub lunch, yet far enough out to enjoy the rolling countryside. Bluestone Resort offers family-friendly facilities, while smaller sites like Oaklea Glamping give you that back-to-nature feel without sacrificing comfort.
