The 7 Best Specialty Museums in Pembrokeshire, Wales
The diminutive Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, a dramatic area of 225 square miles in southwest Wales, was set aside as a national park in 1952 and comprises a large portion of the Pembrokeshire coast and its islands and the moorland hills of Mynydd Preseli. Rugged cliffs and coastal rock formations are home to boisterous populations of seabirds, porpoises, whales, seals and dolphins. Cycle, hike or sea kayak around the spectacular coastline. Bird watching and rock climbing are also popular.

Spent the afternoon at CBF and what an amazing time capsule this place is, Run by volunteers who simply do their job for the love of it and the information the various Guides have is absolutely incredible. The layout of the exhibits is interesting, with all the data displayed Ranging from modern weapons, going back several hundred years and a stunning view of the Haven which is hard to beat and more interestingly you become immersed in a way of military every day life that took place a hundred years ago. You wont be disappointed and you have a sandy beach just around the corner too. STUNNING

3. Milford Haven Heritage & Maritime Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 132 reviews
The Museum is housed in one of the oldest buildings in Milford Haven. Designed by Swansea architect, Jernigan, it was built in 1797 for the storage of whale oil awaiting transhipment for sale in London. Milford Haven has been connected with a number of industries – fishing, Quaker whaling from 1790s, which led to the whale oil industry and more recently the modern oil industry. It has also played an important role during the two World Wars, when it was a convoy assembly point for mine-sweeping. The Museum collection reflects all of these aspects of the town’s history, but focuses particularly on the maritime history. The Museum is a completely voluntarily run museum. It is currently re-constructing its management structure, but it currently consists of the Treasurer, Administrator and Curator. The museum is mainly funded by the Milford Haven Town Council, and the current mayor of Milford Haven is our Trust ex-chairman. The Museum is also supported by other organisations, such as Milford Haven Port Authority and South Hook LNG. The Museum currently holds an accredited status which is awarded by CyMAL.

I know it’s a cliché, but I can only describe the Narberth Museum as a hidden gem. We were very lucky to stumble across it (I would suggest positioning a wooden sandwich board at the end of Picton Place). The museum has been very well designed and thought out and gives a fascinating insight into the history of the town and this part of Wales. The kind lady working on the day we visited not only listened to me drone on about family who had lived in and around Narberth but also managed to turn up some relevant photos and other information. She was so friendly and generous with her time. There’s also an excellent selection of new and second-hand books and a lovely little cafe and we bought some wonderful local marmalade in the gift shop. An excellent and informative way to spend an afternoon. Great for all ages and well worth a visit.
