Best for families who like ancient history close to the sea - a well-preserved Norman castle minutes from the beach, with a reasonable entrance fee and plenty of rooms to wander.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
The surprise is how much a fairly small castle packs in: dressing-up hats for children, pirate-themed activities, towers worth the climb, and info boards that reward a slow wander. The catch is parking, tight on site and easiest at the beach car park - handy, since the beach is minutes away and makes a natural second half to the day.

“As a South and West Wales wedding photographer I can highly recommend Manorbier Castle for your wedding venue. A very unique venue, stunning and ancient rooms from bridal prep to the ceremony. The Castle is exclusive only on the day of a wedding which allows you and your guests the freedom to enjoy the wonderful grounds and rooms of the castle. The added bonus to this venue is Manorbier beach. Just a few minutes walk from the venue and the perfect opportunity to get beach photos later in the day. The staff at the venue were brilliant all day. Very friendly, helpful and making sure that the day runs perfectly well. If you are planning a wedding here then get in touch with me for more details.”

“Reasonable entrance fee. Park at beach car park, turn right and cross road into secret garden to gain entrance. Very limited parking otherwise. When we visited a huge tent was being erected in readiness for a wedding. The most spectacular venue I have ever visited, with a 12 bedroom beautiful cottage and private garden also available on site. Plenty of history with fun pirate themed activities for children and nice walks surrounding it.”

“Parking at the beach carpark it's a short walk up to the castle. (Make sure to put enough time on the car as you can also walk onto the beach. Many cars had fine tickets when we returned) The castle isn't huge but has parts to explore. Great views from the towers. Still well worth the entrance fee.”

Overview
A genuinely old Welsh castle where most of the stone rooms are open to explore, from the atmospheric chambers grand enough to host weddings to the quieter corners you reach through a secret garden off the beach road. Children can rifle through the hats and dressing-up box while the history-minded linger over the information boards, and the whole thing sits within easy reach of the sand.
