Carew Castle Stroll

Carew Castle, Pembrokeshire
~
Yes, I know, it's our favourite walk, but this time it was introduced to a new 'Strollers' Group of walkers as it is an easy, short walk more suitable for a stroll. There were 14 of us plus three dogs - Rupert to the fore as he had done it before! I enjoyed it as I had more photography time as you can see below!

The following are aspects of Carew Castle. It is a 'proper looking' castle with lots of lovely turrets and windows. Various tournaments, archery events and special days for children (and adults) are held throughout the year and it is a very popular holiday attraction.

Overlooking the tidal pool.

Lots of interesting window shapes and sizes.

Fabulous pics as always. I especially like the heron. The walk sounds like my kind of walk. A bit of history, a bit of nature and an inn at the end - perfect.
