Castell Henllys Iron Age Village

“This is an extraordinary place to visit for a couple of hours. The on-site interpreters were knowledgeable, amusing, and very good with children. They were both women, so there was a welcome absence of mansplaining. We learned a lot about domestic life in the Iron Age without really trying. The staff are really welcoming, and the lovely ladies in the cafe dealt with our food intolerances without a murmur, and made us a delicious brunch. A not-to-be missed experience if you’re in the area.”

“Brilliant day out. Signposted well with lots of space in the carpark. Toilets, cafe, gift shop. The staff were great - informative, friendly and enthusiastic. The place itself was much bigger than anticipated which made the visit even better. Woodland walks, lots to see along the way. Kids activity adventure to win a prize. The huts were a great surprise, make sure to see inside them! Best of all was the barefoot trail. Highly recommend visiting here with kids for something a bit different!”

“This Iron Age settlement is located within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. At Castell Henllys, the excavated enclosure revealed a palimpsest of Iron Age life, where successive roundhouse rebuilds, hearths, and post‑rings overlapped to create a textured record of centuries of occupation written one layer over another. Well worth a visit! 👍👍👍”
