With a past rich in intrigue, colorful characters and Welsh legends, the imposing Norman-era Carew Castle, set on a lovely tidal millpond just east of Milford Haven, was recently restored. A gorgeous centuries-old stone mill still stands on the water’s edge where herons, kingfishers and other birds gather. Built on a bluff, the nearby seaside town of Tenby—just over ten minutes by car from Carew Castle—is as fine a seaside village as one could hope for with its signature five-arch gate, evocative ruins and charming Georgian and Victorian houses.
