Set in a stunning location overlooking a 23-acre Millpond, the Castle is one of the most architecturally diverse in Wales; from the west a Norman fortress, yet from the north a splendid Elizabethan mansion.
The site also includes the only restored Tidal Mill in Wales, an 11th century Celtic cross, a Medieval bridge and picnic area all linked by a mile-long circular walk, suitable for buggies and wheelchairs, with magnificent views over the Millpond.
Carew Castle is reputedly one of the best sites in Britain for the southern polypody fern and waxcap fungi. In the grassland around the Castle grow spotted medick, knotted hedge-parsley and fiddle dock. Blue-tits, wrens, blackbirds and jackdaws all make their home in Carew Castle. Owls nest in the Castle ruins as well. At twilight you can sometimes see a barn owl hunting around the Castle.
Serving hot and cold drinks, as well as homemade cakes and light lunches with plenty of outdoor, undercover seating available in the Walled Garden.
The bright and modern Castle Shop features a range of products inspired by the Medieval and Tudor history of the Castle, as well as its picturesque setting in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
You will also find the best of locally produced food and drinks, as well as gifts and crafts produced in Pembrokeshire and from across Wales.
