Hotels in Milford Haven
Milford Haven situated near the mouth of the River Cleddau, at the extreme end of south west Wales, is the largest town in the County of Pembrokeshire, with a population of just under 14,000. In the 9th and 10th Centuries Viking seafarers frequently took shelter here, the name Milford probably coming from a phonic development of two Old Norse words – Melyr/Fyord (sand bank inlet).
In the late 18th century, the Nantucket Quaker Whalers made it their home for the great whaling fleets of the age,(the first oil age), for following their persuasion to return to the Old World, the town of Milford Haven was built on the American gridiron system by Charles Francis Greville. On his visit to the town in 1802, Admiral Lord Nelson was heard to remark that he thought it was one of the great harbours of the world.
In the early part of the 20th century, it was the base for a very large fishing industry, where it was once possible to walk across the entire width of the docks on the decks of trawlers, but following the fishing industry’s decline in the 1950’s hard times were followed by the second oil age with the construction of large oil refineries in the 1960’s onwards. A very large Marina now occupies a part of the dock basin, with local, Spanish and Belgian trawlers also using the facilities on a daily basis. A glance at the History of the Town will help both visitor and local alike, to understand what has made Milford Haven, the Town it is today.
