On the side of a cliff path overlooking Manorbier Beach, King's Quoit is in one of the most…read morebeautiful positions for a Neolithic tomb and also one of the easiest to find! It isn't far from the beach up the cliff path on the left of the beach (south-east side) but the path is steep and rocky in places so care should be taken. There are two small stones which support a massive capstone measuring 15ft by 9ft. At the back corner there is another stone which is low and disappearing into the side of the grassy cliff. The height inside is 2ft 6inches - the chamber being partly underground. There are also other interesting stones of the same kind which line part of the cliff face (which itself is mostly red sandstone). Really worth a visit if you're at all interested in ancient history or just want to soak up the very special and mysterious atmosphere of this incredible tomb.

When you visit Tenby you will find this structure that leads to the main drag for restaurant, cafes…read moreand shops, worthy of a visit. The Tenby town walls are Grade I-listed medieval defensive structures around the town of Tenby in Pembrokeshire. They are assessed as one of the most important surviving medieval city walls in Britain. The walls were built in the 13th century by the Earls of Pembroke and improved in the 1450s. They were last known to have been repaired in 1588 and have declined thereafter. Most of the town's gates were demolished beginning in the 18th century and only one survives

This impressive structure and south-west gate is the most prominent part of the city walls which…read moreenclosed a large part of what is now called the old town. The walls were built by the Normans back in 1296 and this gate was, at that time, a single arch. However, later, a barbican was added to protect the gate. In the 19th century, other arches were knocked through owing to the increased number of people passing through. The wooden gates have not survived although the huge slots which housed the bolts can still be seen. During the French Revolutionary War a roof was added to proved an ammunition store. My photo was taken during a visit to the town before my husband and I left Wales.

This striking lifesize sculpture depicts Truith the Boar (or in Welsh, 'Twrch Trwyth'), from the…read moreold Welsh tale 'Culhwch and Olwen' found in the collection of folklore known as 'The Mabinogion'. In fact the second half of the story is mainly concerned with the hunting of the enchanted boar which strangely enough has poisonous bristles, a pair of scissors, a comb and a razor, between his ears! After many adventures, he is finally driven into the sea and drowned. The sculptor, Chris Crane, was born in Cumbria in 1976. He studied Fine Art in Lancaster and obtained his B.A.(hons) from University of Wales Institute, Cardiff in 2000. These days, he lives and works in Carmarthenshire. He works mainly with old bits of scrap metal, old farming equipment, and other remnants of the industrial past. One of many interesting sculptures in the area which I enjoyed during my time there until last year when I relocated to Scotland.

Yes, a wonderful castle to visit, I agree. I'd seen it from a distance several times but yesterday…read morewas the first time I saw it properly. It was much larger than I'd expected and there are lovely views from the site too. Open from Easter to the end of October, it costs £3 per adult to go inside, though it's free to wander around the perimeter, taking various nearby paths. There's a small car park right beside the castle and another, much larger one, across the road, and both are free. There's a nice little gift shop for souvenirs and cards, and well looked after public toilets to one side.

Kidwelly is a large Norman Castle situated in the small town of Kidwelly, not far from Swansea…read more A lot of the castle is still intact and you can explore much of the castle on your visit. You can climb the towers or go down the stairs to the kitchens and the dank dungeons! There is a souvenir shop and a display explaining the history of Kidwelly Castle which changed hands often, first owned by the Normans and then passed to English Lords and was often taken by the Welsh after bloody battles. Kidwelly's Coat of Arms and shows a Black Cat. There is a legend that the black cat was the first creature seen alive after the great plague hit the town. It was honoured as a symbol of salvation and deliverance and used as Kidwelly's heraldic symbol. The Castle is reputedly haunted.

The gentlemen working there were fantastic, but the house itself is just so-so…read more The house was built in 1470 and currently furnished with replica furniture from 1500 period. It has three floors. The ground floor has the visitors entrance, a replica kitchen, and tiny garden. Going up one floor gives you the family eating area and various games from the period. The top floor is a bedroom with a bonus semi-view to the sea. Because everything is a replica, everything can be touched and examined, which makes it great for kids. However, if you're looking for a true period home you may be disappointed. If you do go, I strongly recommend you chat with the workers. I usually don't, but found them very informative about the kitchen's chimney, possible connectors to the building next door, indoor plumbing for the loo, children's games, and more. All of this review is to say, if you have 15-20 minutes and want to see something from historical Tenby or to get out of the sun, go. If you're looking for a historical home, perhaps skip this one.

However, it's very historically interesting and learning about the man who lived there and his occupations was very interesting - (no spoilers haha!). I would definitely recommend this to National Trust members as it's free entry for them, however if you're not a member it might be worth skipping here as National Trust can be pricey. They've tried their best to make it as child-friendly as possible with toys and games from the time period, but if you have young children it may not be the best place, especially if they're eager to get to the beach! Overall, great for adults and older people for a quick historical endeavour, but not idealistic for young children.

It was the work of a Mr John Charles Froyne who was Chief Constructor of Pembroke Dockyard and later Mayor of the Borough in 1897. Apparently, when the building was sold to WH Smith it was in the deeds that the council must have access to the clock twice a year for maintenance! Without a doubt I think this building with its red clock tower is the most interesting to be seen in Pembroke it certainly stands out from all the rest too, being painted red!
