British History brought to life at Pembroke Castle in front of your own eyes!
Prepare to be amazed if you visit Pembroke Castle! We certainly were! Expecting to see a small provincial castle overlooking a small town in Pembrokeshire. Little did we know just how much was on offer for families.
Every castle should have Something special


Ideal place to learn about British History
The best attractions make each visit feel effortless


It may not have the visual cinemas of Lincoln Castle or Alnwick Castle, but none have bettered the centrepiece ‘Great Map‘ of Welsh Castles that provides a great visual understanding of Wales’ geography and allows you to see why castles were built there. The colour coding adds another level of interest as you find out which were built by invaders or those that kept invaders out!!

Another tip would be to find time to enjoy the digital trail (using smartphone/iphone) or try exploring the brilliant picnic tables with their laminated displays that stimulate plenty of conversation about castles, history and much more…. It’s a great idea that we haven’t seen elsewhere and it certainly impressed Lottie!

We’ve taken a few days out of the van, so it’s parked up within the ‘Bluestone Resort’ nearby…. don’t miss our articles on this fantastic family friendly resort in the stunning national park.
