In January this year, the Port of Milford Haven completed the acquisition of the site at Wards Yard, Castle Pill. The Port recognises that the area is a popular location for dog walkers and recreational fishing activities, however following an assessment it has been deemed unsafe to access at the current time.
The Port will be looking at its future management over the next few months, pending redevelopment.
The Port has also acquired the old cycle path and would be grateful if the public could assist in maintaining the route by being vigilant and reporting any fly-tipping or criminal damage as soon as they see it.
For more information please contact Clare Stowell, Property and Development Manager, on 01646 696383 or clare.stowell@mhpa.co.uk

Notes to Editors
Port of Milford Haven
The Port of Milford Haven is the UK’s top energy port and Wales’ busiest port handling around 20% of Britain’s seaborne trade in oil and gas. It is widely recognised in the industry as the energy capital of the UK.
The Port, along with the cluster of energy-related businesses along the Waterway, is a key driver of economic activity in Pembrokeshire, attracting inward investment and supporting over 4,000 jobs.
The Port of Milford Haven also owns and operates Pembroke Port and Milford Dock. Activities such as cargo handling, ferry operations, fish landing and cruise calls as well as a first class marina are spread across these two sites.
One of the most prominent on the West Coast, the Port is in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only Coastal National Park in Great Britain. It is marked as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and has many areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The Port of Milford Haven is a trust port – an independent, commercially run organisation that has statutory responsibilities governed by its Acts, to maintain and improve navigation and the provision of Port and Harbour services and facilities. Additionally, the Port provides significant financial and in-kind support to a wide variety of local causes. All profits are retained within the business to fund these objectives.
