The town of Milford Haven sits on a deep natural harbour on the western coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales, opening on to a sinuous estuary that has long made it strategically important. Developed as a planned port in the late 18th century, it has a strong maritime pedigree - from fishing and local shipbuilding to a role in naval and ferry movements - and the compact waterfront and museum preserve that seafaring character.
Modern Milford Haven combines a busy working harbour and marinas with substantial energy infrastructure: large oil and LNG terminals on the waterway sit alongside traditional fishing activity and a growing leisure-boating scene. The shoreline and estuary are also notable for wildlife and birdlife, so the town often sits at the intersection of industrial economy, coastal recreation and conservation debate.
