Pembroke

The town sits on a limestone peninsula surrounded by the River Cleddau estuary, with woodland and farmland extending across the surrounding landscape.

Pembroke Castle, established in 1093 by Norman settlers, became a significant fortification and witnessed the birth of Henry VII, founder of the Tudor dynasty.

The town center maintains its medieval street layout with preserved limestone buildings, demonstrating traditional Welsh architectural patterns and construction methods.

Three primary schools and Henry Tudor School provide education for local residents, while regular bus services connect Pembroke to neighboring communities.

The medieval town walls contain a network of hidden tunnels that merchants used to transport goods between the castle and the harbor during sieges.
