This idyllic is known for its spectacular scenery
North of Narberth, the most spectacular scenery is along the rich, non-tidal valley of the Eastern Cleddau, especially and steep village of Llawhaden, who ghostly castle sits on a 200ft wooded bluff above the river.
Once a safe refuge for the Bishops of St David’s, Llawhaden Castle is located about 8 miles east of Haverfordwest, just off the A40. Decorated archways, valuted storage rooms, great hall and kitchens survive today. Although it takes a little effort to locate the Castle, the short stroll from the car park is a nice surprise, lined with pretty flowers and charming homes.
The name of the village and its castle, Llawhaden, apparently derives from Llanhuadain or Llanaedan, "the Church of St. Aidan" (which still stands to the east of the castle).
While here, take the opportunity to ride cowboy style from the nearby 'Western Riding Centre’ and explore the tranquil countryside around Llawhaden.
