Manorbier Castle, Medieval castle in Manorbier, Wales
The stone fortress rises 16 meters high on a coastal promontory, featuring curtain walls, round towers, and a gateway equipped with a portcullis.
The Norman de Barry family established the castle around 1200, starting with a wooden keep that was later enhanced with limestone fortifications in the 1140s.
Gerald of Wales, a medieval scholar and fourth son of William de Barri, was born at the castle in 1146 and wrote about its location.
The castle opens to visitors throughout the year, offering access to gardens, a dovecote, a mill, and sections converted into a holiday cottage.
The castle has appeared in television productions, including a BBC adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia where it represented Cair Paravel.
