The Haverfordwest transmitting station is a broadcasting and telecommunications facility located 9 miles to the north east of the town of Haverfordwest, in Pembrokeshire, Wales (grid reference SN028261). It is owned and operated by National Grid Wireless.
It includes a 154.4 metres (507 ft) guyed steel lattice mast. The radio broadcasts cover the majority of Pembrokeshire, except the north eastern part of the county.
It carries seven analogue FM radio stations, including Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio Wales and Radio Pembrokeshire.
It also carries four analogue television stations, but at very low power. The television services are only designed to cover the villages of Puncheston, Castlebythe, Little Newcastle and Rosebush, which are all located within four miles of the mast.
The mast had its aircraft warning lights upgraded in October 2006, from white xenon discharge flashers to red lamps employing arrays of ultrabright LEDs.
