The castle has become one of the more popular Pembrokeshire attractions due to its long and extremely interesting history it started as an inner bailey back in the eleventh century and this was made from timber and was able to repel a celtic attack that was a bloody siege with many lives lost.
During the twelfth century they added the keep which is a fantastic building with access to all areas including the roof which has some strange architectural features so please don't forget to bring your camera as there are some wonderful sites and you will be sorely disappointed if you forget to take some pictures back with you.
