Discover Milford Haven

Milford Haven offers a range of experiences for your trip: activities on the water, local history and culture. The Milford Haven Waterway spans 22 miles of sheltered, navigable waters. Milford Haven is situated on one of the deepest natural harbours in the world. The town was once a strategic Royal Navy base; Henry Tudor also landed here. If you are looking for a hotel, these themes can provide a starting point for planning your stay.

Water sports and trips on the Waterway

Sailing, motorboating, kayaking, diving and coasteering are all possible on the Milford Haven Waterway. You can explore the waterway independently or take a boat trip. As specific trips vary, it is worth checking what is available in advance.

Divers can choose from 16 designated dive sites and 10 wrecks. Alongside the range of water sports, there are also specific dive destinations to choose from. Before diving, check access to the entry points and the safety conditions.

At Milford Docks, the Easy Access Path runs along a former railway line. It is 1.2 km long and has a paved surface for cycling. If you plan to use this path, it is worth checking its condition before your visit, as maintenance conditions may change.

The museum offers audio tours in English, Welsh and German. If you would like to use a particular language, ask about the availability of the audio tour before your trip.
