Location
Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire, Wales and serves as the county’s principal commercial and administrative centre. The town is situated approximately 93 km (58 miles) north-west of Swansea and 48 km (30 miles) west of Carmarthen.
The town benefits from good road communications, being at the junction of the A40 and A4076. The A40 connects Haverfordwest with Carmarthen to the east and Fishguard to the north. The A4076 connects the town with Milford Haven to the south. The town is also connected to the national railway network with a fastest journey time to Swansea of 1 hour 25 minutes.
Haverfordwest is a popular tourist destination, due to its proximity to The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the UK’s only Coastal National Park. Therefore, the population is boosted significantly during the summer months.
Situation
The subject property is situated in a prime retailing pitch in the heart of Haverfordwest on Bridge Street, the primary shopping street within the town centre.
