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. (Pembrokeshire Coast National Park)

The first mill in Carew dates from 1542. The current building probably dates from the early 19th century and has been restored by the National Park Authority, which leases the castle and tidal mill. (Pembrokeshire Coast National Park)

A beautiful castle & surrounding grounds to visit

Great to get the old mill techniques explained. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time.

£20 for a bit of ruin is relatively high. Along with the Tide Mill it was okay. If you only want to do a short hike, just walk past the outside...you can also go to the mill.

Carew Tidal Mill, lovingly restored by the Pembrokeshire National Park Authority, is a fine sight. The only restored tidal mill in Wales and one of only five in Britain, it's a rare thing indeed. Evidence suggests there's been a mill on this spot since 1542, though the current building was constructed in the early 19th century. It ceased producing corn in the 1930s but was brought back to life when the National Park acquired it in 1984.

Participation in one of the Open Guided Tours (in English), which are included in the entrance fee, is very worthwhile. Lots of information, explained in a lively and entertaining way, brings the history of this special place to life.

Pembroke Castle houses the largest map of Wales in the world and the largest painting in the UK. The large map shows the location of all major castles and religious landmarks in Wales. You can walk around or walk around the map.
