Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire in Wales, sitting astride the Western Cleddau with a compact medieval core centred on Haverfordwest Castle and a network of narrow streets and riverside quays. Its Welsh name, Hwlffordd, hints at the town’s long history as a market and administrative centre serving the surrounding rural hinterland.
Today Haverfordwest functions as the principal retail and public-service hub for the county, with facilities such as Withybush Hospital, Haverfordwest railway station and a small regional airport at Withybush, alongside independent shops, a regular market and community arts activities. The town is also a practical gateway to the coastal scenery of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, combining historic character with ordinary-day services for the wider area.
