Pembroke Castle is one of the most treasured of all of Wales’ many castles, and it has a fascinating history. Commanding a superb vantage point of Pembroke and the Pembrokeshire Coast, it was originally built in the 11 th Century, and gradually added to and fortified over the years. Pembroke Castle was never a royal castle, but was a private residence of a Lord; yet it played a key part in the rise of the Tudors – Henry VII was born in Pembroke Castle, and his father fled with the child from here during the War of the Roses. Pembroke Castle is one of the largest castles in Wales, and is one of the region’s most popular tourist attractions.
