Pembrokeshire
|
This quiet town is a port on the Cleddau River. It shows signs of its prosperous industrial past when it was a centre for the whaling industry, providing oil for lamps and whalebone for corsets. When whaling declined, it became a naval port, though nowadays another sort of oil - crude mineral oil - provides its main income. This history is well illustrated in the excellent Maritime Museum which is situated in the harbour area. The river is a hive of activity - sailing craft, ferries to Ireland, naval craft and tankers - and Milford is worth a visit just for that.
