Pembroke Castle

Perched above the River Cleddau, Pembroke Castle is one of Wales' most historically important castles.

The castle has witnessed centuries of warfare, political struggles and royal ambition. During the English Civil War it played a role in the conflicts between Parliamentarians and Royalists. Visitors can explore the massive round tower, medieval halls and underground passages while enjoying views over the surrounding countryside.
