Built by the Marshal earls of Pembroke between 1190 and 1245 and delightfully set on a rocky coastal promontory, the castle has a triangular inner ward containing a fine circular keep covered by a dome vault and several domestic buildings and an impressive hall block. The larger outer ward has a good gatehouse, lofty curtain walls, and five round towers, some restored in 1930s after being slighted in 1648. There is access to almost all wall-walks and tower summits. Most of the circuit of the town walls also still survives.
