Pembroke Castle

“Stunning 5⭐ Castle, we spent much of the day there. Don't skip the hourly guided tours, they bring it all to life and paint a picture of the eventful history. Our guide was excellent, she received a well deserved round of applause at the end. The site is maintained to a high standard, it's clean and tidy everywhere. There aren't loads of exhibits or endless boards, it mainly concentrates on telling the story of its inhabitants and their place in British history. The importance of the castle is told very well. The small number of displays are done very well. Mannequins depict feasts and important historical events. There are also lots of fun animated videos around the castle that describe the main characters in its history. The cafe is really excellent, all of our meals where made with care and decent ingredients. It wasn't the usual basic dishes, instead they used Sourdough baguettes and really nice fresh salads etc. Their Ploughman's lunch was super.”

“This castle is huge! So much to see and do there. There is a lot of uneven stairs to climb so I would recommend good footwear and maybe avoid if you aren’t steady on your feet or have mobility issues however even without climbing the stairs, it is still a lovely day out. The staff in the ticket area/gift shop were lovely, so friendly and polite. We also stopped in the cafe and the staff there were lovely too!”

“Beautiful restored castle with 1000+ years of history. We took the free tour when we arrived and it really helped bring the castle to life. After the tour plan to spend a few hours walking around and exploring the castle. The Wogan cave was really interesting but a little tricky navigating the steps. Explore parking options before arrival as parking can be hard to find.”
