British Viking town turns itself into £9m tourist destination with FLOATING hotel, waterfront drive-thru & new shops
A BRITISH seaside town has turned itself into a £9million tourist destination with a floating hotel, waterfront drive-thru & new shops. The multi-million pound regeneration project has transformed the port into a bustling hub of food, fun and on-the-water living. 3 3 3 Milford Haven, nestled on one of the world's deepest natural harbours, is a town steeped in maritime history and surrounded by breath-taking coastal scenery. The Pembrokeshire jewel now offers visitors a unique blend of nautical charm, outdoor adventures, and rich cultural experiences. At the heart of the revival is Milford Marina, where visitors can explore the Milford Haven museum which showcases the town's incredible history. And the picturesque waterfront, lined with cafes and restaurants, offers perfect spots for relaxation and boat-watching. Fresh data from Independent Cottages has also revealed that it has been named as one of the five most popular places for Brits to visit this summer. A gorgeous addition to the town is the Ty Milford Waterfront Hotel, which is located at the entrance to Milford Waterfront and overlooking the Milford Marina. It is part of the Celtic Collection which also run the five-star Celtic Manor Resort and you can read our review here. This modern stay by the water offers some stunning harbour views, stylish bedrooms and a modern brasserie-style restaurant. But the hotel's four floatel rooms, which are luxury glamping cabins, are a unique addition as they float among the boats moored at the Marina. Each cabin sleeps two and comes with an en suite shower room, luxurious furnishings, private balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows so you can enjoy the best views of the water and spectacular sunsets. Inside Europe's highest capital city with no airports or train stations - but welcomes EIGHT MILLION tourists a year Two floatel rooms are also dog-friendly, so small well-behaved four-legged travel companions can join you too. Nature enthusiasts will be also captivated by the surrounding landscapes. The nearby Pembrokeshire Coast National Park provides endless opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying spectacular coastal views. And for water sports enthusiasts, the sheltered waters of the Milford Haven Waterway are ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing. And if you are hungry after all that - well the Marina has lots of choices to tempt you. Coco's Restaurant, perched right on the waterfront, bring a true taste of Mexico to Pembrokeshire by combining traditional Mexican ingredients like Mexican cactus with ingredients from local suppliers. And Martha's Vineyard, a family-run bar and restaurant is a great option serving tasty fresh fish and shellfish dishes to tantalise your taste buds such as the pan-fried fillet of Milford Plaice or their scrumptious seafood chowder. While Nautico's boasts an extensive menu that spans from breakfast to dinner along with their delicious 'specials' featuring classics like the full English breakfast and scrumptious pancakes. But there are loads of pubs and restaurants to stop for a bite to eat or quick drink, and the cobbled streets and narrow alleyways really make you feel you're somewhere magical. And The Scoop Ice cream shop is the ideal place for a refreshing stop-off - there is even a Dog ice cream for Doggos – a treat for all your four-legged friends. Meanwhile, we have revealed a very extensive list of London's 35 best pubs – by the locals who drink in them. And TUI has launched new flights from UK airport for the first time in 15 years. Plus, one of Europe's most beautiful train stations could soon get direct routes from the UK.

The price is right: collective sets sight on fast fashion harm
A third of the profits from sales of coats designed by Liz Mitchell will go to subsidising Precious Collaborative's gift prices. PHOTO: SUPPLIED A fashion collaborative has set out to challenge the harm caused by fast fashion by making environmentally friendly clothing in New Zealand — with a catch. Precious Collaborative founder Wānaka-based Claire O'Connell said what set the collaborative apart was the two prices for the sustainable Celtic Collection items. The first price is called the true price, which reflects the true cost of making each piece of clothing. The gift price is a subsidised cost which allows people to buy higher-quality clothing without the burden of price. "The gift price is aimed at people who want to try to get out of this fast-fashion loop, but can't afford high-quality garments, because unfortunately that's what fast fashion takes advantage of is cost." The website states "all we ask of you is that you pay what you can afford". "If you genuinely want to change your fashion consumption habits, buy better and less frequently, but if price is a real barrier, then pay the subsidised gift price." Sales of a coat designed by award-winning New Zealand designer Liz Mitchell help to subsidise the gift prices of the collection, a third of the profit going to helping fund the gift prices. Mrs O'Connell said she had been working on the idea for five years. The collaborative's website was launched in December. The clothing is made in New Zealand using as much material from New Zealand as possible. Sustainability is also important. Garments are made of 100% wool and organic hemp. Mrs O'Connell said the basic problem she was addressing with the collaborative was fast fashion, which she was toxic. A lot of people buying fast fashion were getting blamed for the problem, which was unfair as they were only buying what they could afford and high-quality ethical fashion was out of reach for most, she said.

A number of people had said "thank you so much because there is no way I would be able to afford a garment like this", she said.
