Local Tourism for Haverfordwest

Thank goodness for our library! Despite its less than prime location Haverfordwest library is a well used local facility - books, maps, local flyers, internet access, printing facilities, kids section, easy chairs and friendly helpful librarians. Let's help keep these places open by visiting often!

Great range of books. Plenty of computers too.

Fully recommend you visit this small but fun chocolate factory. Yes it is located on an industrial estate but ignore that; the real magic is inside! You go in and pay for your tour of the factory-£6.95 each is fair I think. There was a group of ten other people waiting for the one of two daily tours of the factory (one at 11am and the other at 2pm-I think). We were served and toured around by the lovely Reece, very friendly man who made us feel welcome and relaxed. You go through to the observation room which has three large glass windows looking into the factory. On the left is dark chocolate, the right is milk chocolate and in the middle is white chocolate, it is all being churned around a metal wheel waiting to be dispensed into moulds. Reece gave us a comprehensive and easy to understand background of the the types of chocolate and the whole process of making it. You then turn around and sit to have a look at the conching process which is explained via a miniature version of a machine they would usually use. You can volunteer if you like to take part in pouring the chocolate from the chocolate maker into a mould then you are shown the conching process. The end of the tour consists of you each having a bag of each type of chocolate- dark, milk and white and then you test each one for its properties including texture, sound upon snapping and then the time it takes to melt in your mouth. For one person to do all of this is impressive and I take my hat off for him. At the end of the tour you really fancy digging in so I got an espresso and a selection of the large bars of chocolate (3 for £10)- I got the peanut butter, milk and plain and some gift chocolate to. I also got a chocolate shot for £2 which was well worth it I can assure you! There are toilets and parking is free. If you have kids it is perfect for them, all in all we were there for around one and a half hours with a drink afterwards.

Very intresting and funny tour, I learned a lot about how they make chocolate. I loved decorating my own chocolate bar! They had good toppings and It tasted great! Great idea for a rainy day or family day out!

We had a fantastic experience here today for our sons 6th birthday.the laser tag was brilliant.our group of ten was catered for brilliantly.Some of our group had certain special requirements (scared of loud noises/dark ) and were catered superbly.cabt wait to return

Not much to look at from the outside, but well organised and great fun indoors! Friendly, helpful staff. Let down by less than mediocre food.

Visited here a few times over the past few weeks to get various bits of garden furniture. Service has been very good and all staff very helpful. Many thanks.

recently taken over so nectar points are no longer valid here. Good for certain products pricey on others. I find things are well set out and tidy too. Staff are pleasant and on hand to help out.
