Day 25
We headed to Pembroke Castle today. Building on the site began in 1093; the castle was later the birthplace of Henry VII. Like Edinburgh Castle the buildings are perched right on top of rock. Many of the homes in the town are built in the same manner. Justin and I were most impressed with the multi-storied round tower as this type of architecture was not common for the time. The museum curator has added a large map of Wales within the castle grounds as well as life sized characters throughout the castle who tell visitors of their work and their daily lives. I am pleased to see more interactive opportunities for kids of all ages. We stopped for dinner on the way home as we are winding down our time in Wales.
