A lot of rain in the night again and still raining in the morning. We had a late shower and once again it started to brighten up a little around lunchtime.
We decided to go to Pembroke Castle. The medieval castle standing beside the River Cleddau underwent major restoration work in the early 20th century. The first castle on the site was built by Roger of Montgomery in 1093. when he fortified the promontory during the Norman invasion of Wales. A century later it was given to William Marshall by Richard I. Marshall who would become one of the most powerful men in 12th century Britain, rebuilt the castle in stone, creating most of the structure that remains today.
Inside the Castle the Pembrokeshire Falconry centre were giving Falconry flying displays which were well worth a look.
We had a walk into town for a coffee before driving to Haverfordwest for tea at the local Wetherspoon’s.
We headed back to the van for the evening
