Learn about the rich, bloody, and important history of this ancient castle, originating from 1093. Explore inside Pembroke Castle and have the scenes from its past brought to life by the castle’s exhibitions. Sculpted figures, sets, lighting, and a triggered audio sequence recreate scenes of interest, including a medieval banquet, the birth of King Henry VII, and a bloody Civil War battle between Cromwell’s troops and Royalists. Explore the labyrinth of passageways and towers, and take in the views from the 23 m (75 F28ft) Great Keep. Peer down into the medieval basement dungeon and spot the Pembroke “prisoner.” Enrich your understanding with a guided tour, available for a small fee. These need to be pre-arranged in low season, but they leave at scheduled times the rest of the year. Buy your tickets to Pembroke Castle in advance from their website to avoid queuing on the day.

Fascinating ancient castle. Tour guide, David, was so interesting and knowledgeable. In a day we hadn't seen all of it, we will come back for another visit.

Lovely area. Huge castle ruins, a lot of which can be climbed and explored by the nimble! Interactive displays. Will be revisiting to see the bits we missed first time around.

An interesting castle ruin with lots of information about it's history and some very steep stairwells to add some fear, the views are fantastic so not for the light hearted. Lovely little cafe and very clean toilets. Parking is off site so a little walk up the hill.

Beautiful castle full of history and stories magnificently told by Gareth our tour guide. Adults and children in our party all agreed he was the best tour guide we have ever listened to for anything anywhere.

This castle is up there with the very best I have visited. Almost all the towers are open to be climbed via the original keystone staircases. The climb to the top of the great keep is long but the view at the top is fantastic. There is a nice little cafe with toilets in the grounds too. My 7 year old son loved the giant map of Wales of the ground. This castle is a must visit.

a wonderful day out... so much history and a fantastic guide... she tied up all of the bits of knowledge I had about our royals really worth the visit but make sure you have plenty of time... so much to take in
