Pretty much like I remember it in 1980. Not a lot going on. But it sure was peaceful, and beautiful - if you don't require lots of sunshine. I was from Texas, so the culture shock was tremendous. And I wouldn't trade those memories for gold.
I went to Sir Thomas Picton School on Prendergast Hill in Haverfordwest. Brought back a lot of memories as I used to spend more time in town than in school. Thank you for sharing.
Yes it is, I do feel Haverfordwest town centre isn't as good as I remember, but that said, the people and beaches are genuinely nice. I came here for those reasons, a beach for everyday of the week, very arty video in a sublime way capturing colour and movement 👍
My wife and her sister's have been to Wales a number of times.. They go to visit their mother's village, Hook. They either stay or visit Haverfordwest whenever they go.
I'd really love to go there in the very near future !! I am currently planning our trip to Wales and England, possibly Italy and Hungary as well !!! I wanna visit Haverfordwest with mom ,but it says very dangerous with a very high crime rate !! How true & realistic is this !? I hardly can imagine any place in Wales have a worse crime rate than ours ,here is 87 in 1,000 !! There ,they say way over it !! Sigh 😕😞 🏴💜🥁🐉🎤🎵🎶💕💞
hi there..i used to study here pembrokshire college in late 90's...is there still old que snooker club near the river bank..i really missed this place..hope can go there again..but maybe no frends left..iam from malaysia
Милое, очаровательное видео... Прекрасная съёмка...Да ещё, где дождик идёт, всё так помыто, чистенько... Музыка Моцарта очень подошла к сюжету...Спасибо за прогулку! Удачи... ☼2☼
Victoria Parker Haha. Is it really that bad? It seems like an attractive town to the casual visitor like me. Glad you liked my crow photography (actually, it's a Rook, but it's a member of the crow family, so I'll let you off).
A pretty town with lots of character. It's just a real shame that the town centre has gone into such a rapid decline, unlike other principal towns in West Wales, such as Cardigan and Carmarthen, which seem to be thriving.
FooBar Maximus they only reason I went there was because I was staying in the nearby village trefin on holiday and the Tesco in Haverfordwest was the closest shop so I only really saw Tesco and a ford dealership
The quality of the graphics of this production is excellent! Some Travel Agents don't capture shots this good, unless you are one lol! In relation to advertising or marketing Haverfordwest overall you have done a really good job. I feel you have given a wide broad insight to visitors or travellers of the town. The only improvement is that you could have covered Market Street (this St in olden times was important), Cinema and Leisure Centre. Nonetheless, you made Haverford look incredibly nice
Thanks for the kind words, Paul. It was just me shooting what I found interesting or attractive on a couple of quick walks round with a friend. I hadn't been before so wasn't sure of the best places to see, but it's a nice town, so I hope to be back sometime!
When you're bk make sure to go on Quay Street and Market Street to cover the shops, restaurants and pubs/taverns up there next time if you are going to shoot another piece. The way in which you filmed Riverside quay and Castle square was spectacular! It really showed a positive portrayal of what it actually is like. A pleasant, stress-free and interesting town, way more than ordinary. Once again, well done!
A very nice video with a great music ! 🎶 I'd love to include Haverfordwest in our itineraries ,but it says a very dangerous place in Wales & one of the highest crim rates in U.K. !! I live in L.A.,so it feels weird to know that a Welsh town can have a worse crime rating than ours here !! How bad really is it !? It looks so pretty & peaceful !!! 😫👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎵🎶💕💞
Thanks for the nice comments on the video, which I made as I was passing through on a quick visit to the town, so I'm not the best person to answer your question. I walked through the town three or four times, for two or three hours at a time, a few years ago, and it always seemed to be very pleasant, and I saw no sign of crime at all. Perhaps if you hung out in some of the worst areas of town after dark, you might see some antisocial behaviour, but I doubt you would notice this as a tourist visiting the "touristy" areas in and around the town centre. Most likely, most of the reported crime occurs on one bad Council Estate, and / or is committed by drunks coming out of the pubs on Friday and Saturday nights. I wouldn't hesitate visiting again, and I don't think you should - it's a quiet rural town - no guns there, unlike L.A.! But, if anyone who lives there knows better, please chime in!
@@BadgerBotherer1 Hello !! Thank you so very much for your prompt response !! 😀 I am so ~glad that you said the things I was hoping to hear you'd say !! 🎶 LOL. Like Italy ...that's what I think reg.mafias there ,but some Italian guy warned me !! I know he had all good intentions & being caring !! He didn't want us tourists to do silly things ,or going to those countryside & rural areas & get hurt !! Other Italians told me that they usually wouldn't bother tourists like me !! Phew !! I am eager to know what others think ,too !! Lol. But, at this point I believe you are right !! Living in any areas & visiting is a whole different situation / story ! So...as long as we won't go into unknown areas ,sketchy areas ,I think we'll be fine !!! I surely hope so !!! Wales is so ~~~ gorgeous ,just like Italy is in many many ways !! So ,I get greedy that I wanna visit everywhere in both countries despite our tight budgets !! Just read it is a very steepy area to walk !!? I am a little worried of my elderly mom ...we'll definitely bring comfy shoes ,but we're not gonna go hiking ( I'd love to ! But ,mom can't !! ) so...Lol. Thank you so much for your reply & this beautiful video of Haverfordwest ,Wales !!! 👍👍💖💜🥁🐉🎤🎵🎶🏴💕💞
No need to be scared. Moving is rated as one of the top three of the most stressful experiences in a lifetime by a poll. I can see you are stressed but the town of Haverfordwest is peaceful and tranquil. The river here unlike most towns is used regularly in the summer for sports like kayaking, canoeing, water polo, synchronized swimming etc- basically any water sport u can think of! Good luck with the move. X
I was Born in Newport Gwent and grew up there until aged 13 14 ISH then against my will I wasI forced to move to haverfordwest 2010/11 I still hate the town but at the same time I am grateful I had the chance to leave Newport and move to Pembrokeshire what would you reading this comment choose Newport Gwent or Haverfordwest/ Pembrokeshire
Shoukat Ali thanks i live there it is a wonderfull town and plenty more to see like AMAZING beaches 2 minites away thank you for saying the town is lovely xxxP.Syour a nice person 😘snowed a few i days ago with me i had 6 metres of it and it is sunny 🌞it is the best and safest no boming nothing bad much happens only crashes somtimes
uded to stay at a hotel there not far from the railway station and hidden in the trees. owned by the flynns back then in '73 '74. we came from southampton. can't remember the name of the hotel anymore. probably doesn't exist any more. like the flynns...... hi andy! z.
Thanks. If you're still in, or interested in, Southampton, perhaps you might be interested in my video of Southampton (I used to live near there, in Romsey): ua-cam.com/video/j-X9puuczpU/v-deo.html
shame it doesn't look like this now, the river is shamefully dirty, the pubs are almost gone, the shops are closing left right and centre. it's like a ghost town and resembles a 3rd world country. The town used to be 1 of the prettiest places to be, friendly people, beautiful views and great shopping place. We have been sold out, even the council have been taken over private corporations. Huge 5g posts going up all over the place and nobody is taken any notice. Sad so sad. Wake up people, we won't have a town left in 10yrs at the rate of decline.....
Being going since 2010 beautiful part of the country but a lot of shops have sadly gone no doubt caused by lack of investment into small businesses caused by politicians they're all the same a waste of time for normal decent folk wherever you live
Caldera Records The sound on the original was just traffic noise, and maybe some wind distortion picked up by the mic. Not attractive to my ears, so I put the music on.
You have described just 2 of many sounds that make up ambient noise. Then there's people's footsteps, birds, distant voices, the water near the bridge, & so forth. ;) When it comes to atmosphere, music says far too much about what the uploader wants to think of a place. And that particular piece has been used in countless films to further portray a 'posh' environment. Like in Ace Ventura, the monopoly guy! (Kill me!!) But that's ok. Most people dish out £thousands on Plasma TVs, 3D Tvs, Flat screens, Curvature TVs, 4K Monitors, Laptops, Tablets etc. But then have 7.1 channels squashed through 2 tiny 1" drivers in the TV. And scoff at the idea of spending £50 on a pair of headphones or a sound bar. People rate sound very low. You never learn to appreciate it until its gone. I recommend "A Silent Voice [2016]". Its' an ear opener! Ha ha!
Pretty much like I remember it in 1980. Not a lot going on. But it sure was peaceful, and beautiful - if you don't require lots of sunshine. I was from Texas, so the culture shock was tremendous. And I wouldn't trade those memories for gold.
How was the culture a shock?
You would have a shock if you saw the state of it now!
Loved watching your video good choice of music went well with what you filmed.
Thanks!
I went to Sir Thomas Picton School on Prendergast Hill in Haverfordwest. Brought back a lot of memories as I used to spend more time in town than in school. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful video, just moved here from Shropshire and now living in Roch. Love it here and
so happy, Fantastic video thank you x
Thanks! I haven't been down there since I filmed this. Time for a return visit, I think! Pembrokeshire is lovely, isn't it?!
Yes it is, I do feel Haverfordwest town centre isn't as good as I remember, but that said, the people and beaches are genuinely nice. I came here for those reasons, a beach for everyday of the week, very arty video in a sublime way capturing colour and movement 👍
@@JELLIETOTTIE Some nice beaches here in Swansea and Gower as well!
Oh The Gower, ......oh yes, Rhossili Village absolutely gorgeous, on my "must revisit list" 😀
Thank you for your beautiful landscapes and scenery!
Thanks for looking!
BadgerBotherer1 that is ok i loved that vid because not many people show Havofordwest but i live there so its an amizing vid thanks xx
My wife and her sister's have been to Wales a number of times.. They go to visit their mother's village, Hook. They either stay or visit Haverfordwest whenever they go.
And do your wife and her sisters like it there?!
Oh yeah. They love it. I'm sure they will be over this year again. My son is as Irish as can be but he went out and bought a Welsh rugby jersey..
Hope they have a good time!
great video, i love my hometown :)
+Miss Emma Michelle Leake So you should - it's a nice place!

It looks a Beautiful place, congratulation for keeping it beautiful. A must visit place when safe to do so.
To be honest not a lot going on.
@@elliot695 thank you for your comment sometimes thats a good thing, but still on my visit list Wales has some beautiful places.
@@geraldbeddows9017 I mean I wouldn't recommend hwest its nice to stop off at on your way to some beaches 😀

Great travelogues, wonderful shots, thanks for sharing, Have a nice weekend. Best regards. ♥♥ ~ Maggie ~ ♥♥
Thanks. It was a nice town!
After watching this, I am reminded that I do not want to ever live there again. Good photography of the crow.

Beautiful town with a lot of memories. I was stationed at the NAVFAC near there from 84-86 and 94-95.
My first visit, and definitely won't be my last. Hope to go back soon!
Furzy Park then?
I live there I do
Good for you 👍👍

Has it declined a lot? In what way? That's sad!
Nice video.. God bless always..

Living there every day, it doesn't stay nice for long
FooBar Maximus they only reason I went there was because I was staying in the nearby village trefin on holiday and the Tesco in Haverfordwest was the closest shop so I only really saw Tesco and a ford dealership
I live in Havofordwest all that you were showing i live in that town and have passed or went in the houses

What are you talking about there is loads of local shops and businesses and new openings of a nice glass front library on the riverside it's amazing
And of course it was raining
It always rains in Wales!
