Centrally located Haverfordwest is an ideal inland base from which to explore all of the Pembrokeshire coast. This historic county town, with its steep streets, riverside shops and handsome houses, is full of interest. The first place to catch the eye is the ruined 12th century castle perched on a hill above the rooftops. Castle House, next door, contains the town museum. When the Western Cleddau (which flows into the Milford Haven waterway) was navigable, Haverfordwest was a thriving port. Memories of those times can be seen along the Old Quay with its warehouses and Bristol Trader Inn. Old and new mix together, for nearby there is a modern riverside shopping complex. It is well worth wandering amongst Haverfordwest's lanes and streets. There is a wealth of Georgian architecture to appreciate and St Mary's Church, at the top of High Street, has wonderful stained glass windows.
