Pembroke Dock

Pembroke Dock (Welsh: Doc Penfro) is a town in Pembrokeshire, Wales, lying north of Pembroke at the end of Milford Haven.

The town was founded in the nineteenth century around a naval dockyard , but is now a ferry port, from which ferries sail to Rosslare in the Republic of Ireland. Its other major industry is oil refining.

Attractions in Pembroke Dock include the 1851 Gun Tower , now a local museum. The Cleddau Bridge leads north from the town, over the Daugleddau estuary .
