Haverfordwest, South WalesHaverfordwest is a county town situated at the heart of Pembrokeshire. As well as being an ideal base for exploring the county, the former market town is also a charming place to visit in its own right. Overlooking Haverfordwest are the impressive ruins of a 12th century Norman castle, which stands on a naturally defensive position at the end of a strong, isolated ridge with a sheer cliff on the east, little now survives, except, perhaps the footings of a large square keep in the north-east corner of the inner ward. The river Cleddau winds through the town centre, spanned by two fine bridges. The hilly streets of High Street and Market Street have many fascinating shops, as well as some excellent pubs and cafes. Haverfordwest also offers a wide range of leisure and sporting attractions for all the family from tennis and bowls to golf and swimming. At the Riverside Quay, in a lovely setting beneath the castle, is a convenient, newly developed shopping complex and the upper part of town which, with its many winding, narrow streets, is well worth a wander. You can also enjoy the town's historical and architectural places of interest on a guided tour and not far outside the town itself many heritage parks and activity centres can be found. Close to the town is the Oakwood Theme Park which offers a fun day out for all the family.
