Description
Pembroke Castle (Welsh: Castell Penfro) is a medieval castle in Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, West Wales. The castle was the original family seat of the Earldom of Pembroke in 1093. Arnulf of Montgomery built the first castle at the site when he fortified the promontory beside the Pembroke River during the Norman invasion of Wales.[2] A century later, the castle was given by Richard I to William Marshal, who became one of the most powerful men in 12th-century Britain. He rebuilt Pembroke in stone creating most of the structure that remains today.
This castle is pretty amazing to behold. It is an enormous oval castle surrounded by a serene duck pond. Steeped in history of Welsh and English struggles- and later the struggles in the war of the roses. Pembroke Castle was the birth place of Henry the VII.
