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.

The Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre is simply marvellous, staff are great and some of them can tell you great stories, the Sunderland cockpit is a basic simulator and worth ago, easily spend some quality time and some Star Wars Millennium Falcon trivia to.

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.
