[quote=Anonymous]We loved Pembroke Castle in Wales.

We were in Wales visiting a friend who lives there, and she told us that Pembroke was her family's (with three young kids) favorite castle in Wales.  The castle is truly medieval, built in 1093, but it was in use until the 17th century.  It was the birth place of Henry Tudor (Henry VII).  During the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell once captured the castle after a seven week siege.  The castle has a fascinating history, if you or your kids are interested in that kind of thing.

Pembroke has a fantastic - and free! - Knight School for kids.  All the children in our group loved it.  And the adults had a great time exploring the castle.  Climbing to the top of the Castle Keep was an incredible experience, but not for the faint of heart (but is suitable for adventurous kids).

Pembroke is very close to Tenby.  I spent many summer holidays there as a child.  It's beautiful beach town that I would highly recommend if you are in the area.  Really lovely![/quote]
