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.

On a windy day we visited a great castle. It had great exhibitions with amazing views. Really like how you could walk around the remaining castle areas too. Not a great place for babies or young child... more »

Seems to be like a great place to visit, unfortunately we have arrived when it was closed but never the less we were still very impressed with the beauty of the castle and the surroundings. Prices are around £5 p.p. Free car park available 5 feet further from paid car park 👍😉

Nice day out for all ages. The Castle is well maintained and very explorable albeit by very steep stairs to most places. Lots of rooms and exhibitions to see, we were lucky to go on a ghosts and witches tour.

Pembroke Castle is a fantastic day out for the whole family. We have children aged 1, 3, 4 and 6 who loved it as much as we did. It's definitely the best castle we have been too. Exploring the castle, running around the enormous map, the vast cavern, looking at the exhibits, climbing up the Keep and enjoying the view, seeing where King Henry VII was born, and consuming a delicious burger (from the local farm) in the cafe and an ice-cream in the sunshine. It was a fabulous day out and we cant wait to come back. Well worth the journey from Cardiff
