Haverfordwest Area Business Network
Haverfordwest owes its existence to its location on the River Cleddau which today flows through the centre of this bustling market town. It was the first place on the river which afforded a safe opportunity to ford the Western Cleddau, hence its name which is derived from the Old English word haefer, meaning buck or he-goat. It was the place where goats crossed the riverIt was at this point that Henry Tudor crossed with his army after landing at Dale in August 1485 on his way to Bosworth Field, where he defeated Richard III and became King Henry VII, the founder of the Tudor dynasty
