Perhaps not the most spectacular of Pembrokeshire's castles, Nevern castle is still worth including on your route. It's located high above the Nant Gamman stream with a steep
natural gorge on one side and commanding views over the landscape. The remains of the motte and bailey castle probably date to Norman times, but it's thought this has been a defended position since the Iron Age some 2,000 years ago.
