What can I say....... brilliant in so many ways. This Castle is full of history and character, and a must see if travelling around the area.

Manorbier Castle: Where Dragons Napped and Stones Had Stories to Tell! Oh, Manorbier Castle, the jewel of Wales – a place where knights once roamed, dragons dozed, and the stones whispered tales older than my grandmother's favorite knitting patterns. Firstly, let's talk stonework – these stones are like the Gandalfs of masonry, standing tall and proud, as if they've seen more epic battles than a Welsh rugby field. The craftsmanship is so splendid; even the moss has taken up residence in style. Now, the grounds – a picturesque haven where you can almost hear the Welsh leprechauns telling jokes to the sheep. I strolled through the grassy plains, feeling like an extra in a medieval rom-com, minus the dragons – apparently, they were off on a tea break. As for the renovations, well, let's just say even King Arthur would say, "Alright, could use a lick of paint here and there." A few bits looked like they've weathered more storms than a conversation about the weather in a Welsh pub. I didn't venture inside the castle – not because I'm scared of ghosts (I am), but because the real action is outside. The courtyard, a stage for the world's grandest game of invisible medieval badminton, where the shuttlecock is a knight's lost helmet. In conclusion, Manorbier Castle is a 5-star spectacle, a place where the stones hold secrets tighter than a Welsh dragon guards its treasure. It's a delightful blend of history, with just enough renovation projects to keep the ghosts on their toes. If you're ready for a stroll through time and a chuckle with the castle stones, Manorbier is your knight in slightly tarnished armor – because, let's be honest, perfection is overrated! ???

Beautiful castle right by the beach! Lovely views, lots of parking, easily accessible and not extremely overrun or busy Historical facts all around and a really great day out for kids

What a wonderful castle to visit. Beautiful country roads on the drive to it (some narrow so be careful as they can be busy). A large carpark just below the castle is pay an display. There are toilets in the carpark aswell which was fab. A small walk up a light hill road leads you to a secret entrance to the castle (marked as such on the gate lol). A small uphill path leads you to a small moat and drawbridge type entrance to the castle. For a small fee from the coffee shop (we stopped for a lovely coffee and homemade cake which was lush) you gain entrance to the castle grounds and towers. Thought has clearly been put into the towers with notes and things to see and do in them. Rather lively than just plain walls and sights out of the tiny windows. After a lovely walk about the castle its a 5min walk if that to a really lovely beach. Total bonus. Totally forgot to get pictures of the beautiful beach (apologies) but it is very pretty and definitely worth a visit. We then went on to Tenby afterwards for food an another walk along Tenby beach with our 2yr old son. Fantastic day out.
