Learn more about hotels in Milford Haven

Established in 1790 by Sir William Hamilton, Milford Haven emerged as a bustling whaling centre before transforming into a Royal Navy dockyard by the onset of the 19th century. Playing a vital role in the UK’s energy sector, its commercial port is known to be the fourth largest in terms of tonnage. The town's rich maritime past is cemented with its significant role in numerous military operations, including the invasion of Ireland in 1171 and 1649.

In the heart of Pembrokeshire, the most populous community within its borders, Milford Haven thrived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, establishing itself as the UK's sixth largest fishing port by 1906. During World War II, this coastal town served as an essential base for allied American troops. As the town urbanised in the early 20th century, it saw a boom in public services and council house construction.

When to visit Milford Haven

Milford Haven, with its mild climate and approximately 1,600 sunshine hours annually, presents an appealing destination throughout the year. However, for optimum weather conditions, planning your visit between July and September is recommended. With temperatures seldom dropping below 13.6°C at night in late July, packed beach days and leisurely explorations of the town are within reach.

While the chance of precipitation is lowest in September, April, and June, it’s important to note that snow is a rarity in this charming coastal town. Peak tourism months are June, followed by May and July, attracting travellers with longer daylight hours and balmy coastal breezes. However, if visiting during the bustling summer isn't possible, cheer up, as autumn offers fewer crowds alongside attractively priced hotels. A winter visit might bring a chilly breeze and warm winter woollies, but rest assured, it sustains Milford Haven's captivating charm with a hint of seasonal festivity.
