The largest town in the Pembrokeshire and the home of the County Show. The shopping centre includes big names such as Argos, Boots and Smiths, and a main Post Office. Points of interest are the 13th century castle, which is open to the public, the river and the indoor market. Just outside the town are more shops, the county hospital (which has an Accident and Emergency department) and an airport.

Each summer, the Pembrokeshire County Show is held at Withybush, just to the north of Haverfordwest. This is a nice combination of agricultural show, fairground, trade show and boot sale. A good day out.

A swimming pool is open throughout the year. It includes a fun pool for children, a 92ft water slide and diving boards.

There is plenty of inexpensive parking in the town, the easiest being a small multi-storey near the main road.

HOW TO GET THERE Haverfordwest is on the A40 which runs from Carmarthen to Fishguard.
