Carew Castle was built in the late 11th century by the constable of Pembroke Castle, Gerald de Windsor. Archaeologists have found traces of an Iron Age settlement near the castle, as well as Roman pottery.

Considered to be one of South Wales' finest castles, Carew Castle occupied a strategically important spot on a crossing point of the Carew River. Constructed at the end of the 11th century, today it's a mightily impressive ruin.

It's clearly a site that has attracted humans for thousands of years, as there have also been pieces of Roman pottery discovered nearby, as well as evidence of an Iron Age settlement.

From here you have a beautiful view of the castle and the lake in front of it.
