Discover Coast and Cleddau boat trips launched at Milford Waterfront

Discover Coast and Cleddau boat trips are now operating from Milford Waterfront

A new way to appreciate the spectacular Pembrokeshire coast has been officially launched at Milford Waterfront.

Discover Coast and Cleddau offers two exciting boat trips: ‘Discover Coast’ takes passengers on a guided tour around Skomer Island to see the array of wildlife while ‘Discover Cleddau’ explores the more tranquil waters around Benton, Cosheston Woodlands and Lawrenny. Both trips celebrate the rich history of the Waterway. Suited to all ages from five upwards, what makes these trips unique is that all passengers are seated comfortably inside a heated cabin.

Director of Property and Tourism at the Port of Milford Haven which owns and operates the vessel, Clare Stowell, said “There is so much to see within the Milford Haven Waterway and out towards the islands that we’re confident both trips will be really popular. The trips form part of our wider strategy to transform Milford Waterfront into a vibrant destination where visitors will enjoy a memorable leisure experience.”

As well as the regular boat trips, a number of special tours will be publicised throughout the summer such as photography expeditions. Excursions can be booked by calling the Skipper Gareth Light on 01646 696370; tickets are £25.00 per person with the boat departing from Mackerel Quay at Milford Marina.

Milford Marina Discover Coast and Cleddau Boat Trip Launch

On Thursday afternoon we attended the launch of the new Discover Coast and Cleddau Boat Trips at Milford Marina.  I have been so excited about a regular boat trip service returning to “the docks” as although we live right next to the sea we don’t have a boat of our own so rarely get out “on the water”.  Take a look at our photos from the launch and find out how to book a boat trip:

We made our way to the marquee for some refreshments.   Sadly Danny wasn’t very well and Caitlyn was exhausted from her school trip to Carew Castle so in the end just Rebecca and Izzy came with me.

Clare Stowell,  Director of Property and Tourism at the Port of Milford Haven , Aden Brinn JP, Chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council and Councillor Rose Gray, Mayor of Milford Haven, said a few words and then the Mayor cut the ribbon to officially open the boat tours.

The first group made their way down to the pontoon to board the first boat trip.

We enjoyed refreshments from Martha’s Vineyard, listened to the folk band and took in the marina view.

The girls were excited to spot MW Discovery return.

Look at our pretty town! It was time for us to board Discovery.  It’s very easy to step down onto the rib and and board the boat.  The crew offer help too.  I sent Rebecca first so I could pass Izzy to her until I boarded myself.

Walking into the cabin we discovered it’s like a bus- a bus on water.   The seats have seat belts and a life jacket was placed on each seat.  We listened to the safety talk and then we were off exploring the haven.

As it was such a beautiful day the sea was shimmering in the sun.  It was glorious. The good thing about the enclosed cabin is you could enjoy a boat trip even on a rainy day (it’s also heated so a perfect way to explore the haven on a cold day too).  I think on the longer trips you have a chance to sit on deck to get some good shots (as long as you wear the life jacket provided).

Every day I watch the ferry pass our house but it was amazing to get this close to it.  

The crew told us about the sights we passed along the way.  Stack Rock Fort is a Grade II listed building.  The fort was built on the small island around 1850.  It was  one of a chain of   forts   designed to defend Britain and the Royal Naval Dockyard at Pembroke Dock against an invasion from France.  It’s hard to imagine that at one point it  was manned by up to 150 men and armed with 16 guns, each weighing 18 tons.

It was recently put back up for sale  and they’re asking for offers in excess of £400,000.  It will be interesting to see how the future owners develop this site.

Izzy enjoyed the view.  The girls got very excited to see our home, local beach and their school from the sea.  It’s the first time we’d seen their new school from this angle as it’s a new build.

We went to Watwick Bay, a quiet sheltered sandy beach and then returned as it was a short taster trip.  Milford Marina have two trips for visitors to choose from:

“”Discover Coast” trips will see you venture out to sea on a guided tour past the “Heads” and beyond, to explore the natural beauty of the Pembrokeshire coastline. Our crew will take you on an adventure around Skomer Island, for wildlife spotting with a difference, and even a history lesson from our crew on the way

“Discover Cleddau” trips will take you up the Cleddau on a guided tour past the Port’s impressive array of industry, and onto the more tranquil areas of Benton, Rhoose Ferry, Cosheston Woodlands and Lawrenny, before returning to Milford Haven”

I am looking forward to booking onto both trips but especially the “Discover Coast” as Skomer Island is one of my favourite places.

How to book a Boat Trip

Both trips will be running regularly through the summer, from the Mackerel Stage, Milford Waterfront. Free parking is available on site (use SA73 3BN).

All tickets are £25.00 per person.  The boat trips are not suitable for children aged 5 and under.

For more information on boat trip availability, and to book, please call the Skipper, Gareth Light, on 01646 696370.

There will also be one-off trips and experiences aboard Discovery through the summer so follow Milford Waterfront on social media for the latest news from Discover Coast & Cleddau Boat Trips !

The 1915 milford haven maritime massacre: a tale of valour and loss.

TODAY is the inaugural National Fishing Remembrance Day, buy many residents of Milford Haven may not know about the tragic events of 1915, when piracy on the high seas by ‘the enemy’ led to the loss of local fishermen and several trawlers.

In 1915, amidst the backdrop of World War I, Milford Haven’s fishing fleet became the target of ruthless ‘pirate attacks’ as they were reported, which claimed the lives of 47 men and saw the sinking of several trawlers.

These were not isolated incidents but part of a terrifying pattern that emerged during this tumultuous period, carried out by German boats, and submarines, against all British shipping.

The first incident was a brutal attack on the Hirseo.

As the ‘pirates’ opened fire, chaos ensued onboard. The trawler, filled with fishermen, was ill-equipped to handle such an assault. Many crew members were killed instantly, while others, injured and desperate, struggled to survive as the vessel began to sink. The nearby Victoria, in a bid to assist, maneuvered closer but was quickly overwhelmed by gunfire and met the same fate as the Hirseo.

Among those who lost their lives was the chief engineer of the Victoria, Albert Cole, whose earlier premonitions of doom became a grim reality as the ship went down. His final acts, attempting to keep the engine room operational even as the vessel succumbed to the sea, highlighted the bravery and professionalism that defined these men.

Simultaneously, the Belgian trawler Delta B also came under attack. The Delta B, which was fishing in proximity to the British trawlers, was besieged by the same group of pirates. It suffered extensive damage and eventually sank, adding to the day’s toll of devastation. The crew, mostly Belgian nationals, faced a fierce battle for survival as they encountered relentless gunfire and the perilous waters of the Irish Sea.

Survivors from these attacks were few and faced grim odds. Those who were rescued recounted their experiences with palpable grief and trauma. They described scenes of fellow crewmen being struck by bullets, the cold embrace of the sea as they leapt overboard, and the slim hopes of rescue amidst the vast, unforgiving waters.

The response from Milford Haven to these tragic events was swift and heartfelt. The community rallied to support the grieving families, providing financial aid and organising memorial services. The impact of the losses was felt deeply throughout the community, uniting them in their sorrow and their resolve to prevent future tragedies.

The incidents involving other trawlers, like the Ebor, further underscored the widespread nature of the piracy threat at the time. The Ebor, targeted shortly after the initial attacks, managed to survive the encounter but not without enduring its own harrowing tale of gunfire and evasion.

In the aftermath, additional stories emerged of other nationalities involved, such as Russians, Spaniards, and Norwegians, each sharing their own harrowing escape stories. One poignant testimony came from a Spanish survivor, who detailed his traumatic ordeal in broken English, reflecting not only his personal suffering but also the shared human experience of facing death at sea.

Today, as we reflect on these tragic events, our community not only commemorates those who were lost but also looks to learn from the past. The horrors of the 1915 pirate attacks have instilled a collective resolve to enhance safety and security for all maritime workers, ensuring that such a tragedy is never repeated.

This National Fishing Remembrance Day, let us remember the bravery and sacrifice of those who went before us, and let their legacy guide our efforts towards a safer and more secure future for the fishing community of Milford Haven and beyond.

St Davids RNLI teams up with Solva Rowing for joint exercise

THE RNLI St Davids lifeboat crew joined forces with Solva Rowing and Watersports Club for a unique joint training exercise on Saturday, May 11, 2024. The session focused on practising medical evacuation and tow techniques using a Celtic longboat, providing an opportunity for both lifeboat and rowing crews to enhance their rescue skills.

The training aimed to prepare volunteers for a variety of maritime emergency scenarios, ensuring that they are well-equipped to handle situations that may arise at sea. The use of the traditional Celtic longboat added an extra layer of challenge and realism to the exercise, simulating conditions that could occur during actual rescue operations.

The collaboration between the two groups was not only a chance for skill enhancement but also a way to strengthen community ties and mutual understanding among the local sea-going organisations. The exercise was documented in photographs by Lyn Jenkins and Cathy Morton, capturing the intense yet constructive nature of the training.

This proactive approach by both the RNLI and Solva Rowing and Watersports Club underscores the commitment of local maritime groups to safety and preparedness, ultimately aiming to ensure that their volunteers are ready and able to save lives at sea effectively.

Angle RNLI responds to four emergencies in two days

THE Angle RNLI lifeboat crew demonstrated remarkable dedication and skill in managing four separate emergency callouts over the span of just two days. The series of incidents began at midnight on Friday, 10th of May, when the all-weather lifeboat was launched to investigate reports of red flares over Pennar, Pembroke. Despite an extensive search of the area stretching from the 5A buoy east of Valero to Llanreath and into Pennar Gut, no evidence of distress was discovered and the team was stood down at approximately 1:45am.

The second incident occurred later the same day at 4:58pm, following a mayday call from a vessel between South Hook and Angle. The vessel’s skipper reported an unconscious crew member who had collapsed while fishing. The lifeboat reached the distressed vessel within minutes, where crew members provided immediate medical assistance. The casualty, now conscious and stable, was transported to the Port Authority Jetty, where further medical support awaited.

The crew’s third emergency call of the day came at 7:19pm, prompted by a 999 call reporting four individuals being swept out to sea on two surfboards at Freshwater West Beach. Fortunately, all four were safely out of the water by the time the lifeboat arrived, but the crew conducted a precautionary search to ensure no further individuals were at risk.

On Saturday, 11th of May, at 1:03pm, the crew was again called into action after a report of a person unable to reboard their boat south of Watwick Beach. The individual, who had been recovered from the water by a passing vessel, was safely transferred to the lifeboat. It was found that the casualty’s mirror dinghy had capsized. The lifeboat ferried the individual to the Port Authority Jetty for medical care.

Each of these operations underscores the critical role played by the RNLI and its volunteers in ensuring maritime safety and rapid response to emergencies along the coast.

Pembrokeshire’s hidden waterway

The Daugleddau estuary

The daugleddau estuary is the coming together of four rivers; the western and eastern cleddau, carew and cresswell rivers in the heart of the  pembrokeshire coast national park ..

The upper reaches of the Daugleddau estuary are particularly stunning; with steep, wooded banks alternating with gently sloping farmland.

Most of the waterway is hidden away from the world but a great way to explore this hidden world has to be by kayak or canoe. With superb sheltered waters what could be better than guiding your kayak down a tiny pill with just the sound of the birds and the gentle sway of the water for company.

The numerous pills and creeks, and the foreshore of the main channel are nationally important for the thousands of wintering waders and wildfowl which feed on the mudflats at low tide and roost on the banks and fringing marsh at high tide.

The entire estuary can be explored but you’ll need an Ordnance Survey map to follow the 59-mile marked Landsker Borderlands trail. Short sections of the estuary can be walked including routes from Lawrenny and Landshipping .

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
