The magnificent castle at Pembroke was clearly built to impress and I am sure that in its heyday it certainly did that. It has an imposing presence overlooking the river and with its high, thick walls surrounded by a moat it would have been more or less impregnable. Although it is in ruins the fact that so much remains intact hundreds of years after its construction says a lot about the intentions of the architect and the skills of the craftsmen and labourers who put it all together.
