	*The Rath* Originally this area of land was established in the 18th centuary as a gun battery to defend the town. In the 1930's it was carefully landscaped to create a pleasant green area with panoramic views of the Haven Waterway. There was an open air swimming pool here, but it has been replaced by The Meads (Milfords modern indoor sports centre). On the site of the old pool, a water garden has been built. Public access to the Rath and its Water Gardens is free.
*Pheonix Bowl* The recently opened Phoenix Bowl is a 10 pin bowling and entertainment complex. Located on the quayside in Milford Docks, the centre offers a fully automatic 10 ally bowling facility, complete with its own bar, cafe, pool room and childrens play area.
	*Seal Hospital* This is a genuine, fully operational, hospital for seals and other marine life. The outside clearly reveals that the entire building is an example of architectural recylcing - i.e it is built into an oil refinery storage tank. Inside the tank is a modern recovery and treatment centre, visitors are welcome, there is normally a sign to indicate whether there are any patients in the hospital.
*Gelliswick Beach* Do not adjust your screen, Gelliswick beach really does look pink. The colour comes from pebbles of the natuaral red rocks. This is not a traditional sandy beach, instead it is a working beach. The concrete slipway is wide enough for yachts and vessels up to about 40 foot to launch and recover, larger vessels occasionally ground themselves between tides for maintainance work. The building in the background is the thriving Pembrokeshire Yacht Club and on the right hand side of the beach is Hubberston Fort built in the 1850's. Use of the Slip is free and their is ample free roadside parking for both a vehicle and trailer. On hot days in the summer season their can be queues to use the slip. Dinghies and smaller craft can launch/recover directly onto the beach.
	*The Meads Sports and Leisure Centre* This purpose built modern leisure centre boats a full size swimming pool, squash court, fitness suite and all the usual centre facilities.
*Milford Haven Museum* The towns museum specialises in Milfords Colourful past, focussing on its maritime history. Even the building housing the museum is a piece of the towns history:- Built in 1797 as a Customs House and later used as a warehouse, this is one of the oldest buildings in the town.
	*Milford Haven Marina* Although this is a fully equiped modern marina with all the berthing facilities you would expect, the marina is also a focal centre for non-seafarers. The docks company have actively supported the towns entertainment calendar and often consent to a large area of open land near the sea wall to be used as an entertainment ground. Milford is well known for holding major ivents like the Fire Day and RNLI Day, this location is able to accept the large crowds and offers excellent views of waterbourne spectacles.
*The Torch Theatre* A full sized modern theatre built with funding assistance from the Amoco Oil refinery. The Torch theatre hosts top acts including current television celebrity acts, major operatic companies, chart topping pop groups, orchestras and a variety of talented amateur entertainment. If you look at their events list on www.torchtheatre.org.uk you will understand that this theatre provides a quality entertainment service to the entire region.
	*Havens Head Retail Complex* Milford Haven recently acquires an out-of-town shopping centre next to the marina and docks. As well as the well known stores of Tescos, Boots, Bwise and Pound Stretcher the complex also houses a C.B.S. store - this claims to be Britains largest Catalogue bargain store. C.B.S. has regular special offers but can get very crowded when they have a full sale.
