Neyland is a small town on the northern shore of the Milford Haven waterway in Pembrokeshire. The town developed significantly during the nineteenth century when its harbour and railway connections made it an important centre for maritime trade and transport. Its position opposite the historic port of Pembroke Dock gave Neyland a strategic role in the development of the waterway. Today the town is primarily residential and is closely connected with the surrounding coastal communities.
