Carew
Undoubtedly one of Pembrokeshire's most pleasant and popular visitor attractions set at the end of a beautiful tidal inlet of the Daugleddau Estuary. The charming village has a very hospitable pub and restaurant.
The attractions are:
- Carew Castle - undoubtedly one of Pembrokeshire's finest - and historically most important. It was occupied continuously from the 12th to the 17th centuries by which time it had been transformed into a magnificent Elizabethan mansion by sir John Perrot. With its busy programme of pageants and re-enactments during the summer months it's a must for the visitor.
- Carew Cross - a royal memorial to Mareddud ap Edwin, joint ruler of the kingdom Deheubarth (South West Wales) who was killed in 1035. This fine Celtic Cross is one of Wales's most famous monuments.
- Carew Tidal Mill - this fascinating French mill, restored by the National Park Authority in 1972 is the only intact tidal mill in Wales. Well worth a visit.
