Carew Castle is an impressive castle founded in the 12th century and strengthened repeatedly through the medieval period. Parts were then massively remodelled for Sir Rhys ap Thomas in the late 15th and early 16th century, forming a riverside palace. It was occupied until 1686, when it fell into disuse, and is now managed by the Pembrokeshire National Park Authority and Cadw. It is open to the public for a fee, but clearly visible from public roads. I can personally recommend the food and drink!
