Tips from the Community

July 23, 2025, View of Stack Rock Fort

Stack Rock Fort is a fort built on a small island in the Milford Haven Waterway. A 3-gun fort was built between 1850 and 1852, and then upgraded from 1859 to 1871 with a new building that completely encased the original gun tower. It is now a Grade II* listed building and a scheduled monument. During WW I the fort was used to monitor and protect the harbor with its big guns. During WW II the old fort was briefly used by the RAF as a military communications relay station. Since 2021 it has been owned by a community interest company.

This delightful church has a rather unusual tower, which has a tiled roof. St Mary's is a medieval church with a short, 15th Century West tower, set in the 'Doubly Thankful' village of Herbrandston. It was carefully restored in 1904 by C Forde Whitcombe, with a reredos of 1927 in carved unpainted oak by Arts & Crafts architect John Coates Carter. Herbrandston is celebrated as one of the few villages where all service men and women returned safely from both wars, and from all conflicts since. In thanksgiving the stunning deeply carved reredos was given to the church by the people of Herbrandston. The church also contains a 14th century effigy of an unknown knight and two medieval corbel heads, one with a mitre and other with a coronet placed one each side of the nave walls.

This is a lovely section of trail with great views towards Sandy Haven. This is, despite its proximity to the more industrial parts of the Pembrokeshire Coast.

The small village of Uzmaston occupies a nice spot on the Western Cleddau. Its 13th-century St Ismael's Parish Church is an interesting, Grade-II listed building that was restored in the 1990s. The village is linked to Haverfordwest by the Frolic, a footpath that runs alongside the river.

This is a much easier way to access the beach than to clamber down the rocks near the car park

Sandy Haven is a fantastic beach to explore. A huge expanse of around 800m of sand at low tide - yet despite its name is pretty rocky. Loads of rock pools to explore and boulders to climb. Sandy Haven village is along the Sandy Haven Pill, flanked by smoother sand (and mud) and with a boardwalk on which you can cross to the other shore at low tide.

A lovely little park with lots of benches overlooking the river. It also has a skate park and lots of green space round it.
