Large area to around and the ruins inside the as well. Excellent place for a sunny day for kids. It's on the banks of a river, where water levels are always changing, it's quite interesting. It was a spontaneous trip to this beautiful in the heart of Pembrokeshire. They got plenty of free parking. We bought the tickets at the counter £17 for two adults. The is huge and has clear instructions along the way. If you’re planning a to wales then this has to be in your to do list. Nice for a quick stop after a day in Tenby. There is an audio tour if you’re interested, or just signs to read if you prefer. You also get entry into the Tidal Mill nearby. A well kept that places you in well into the times that it represents. I truly got the feel of what life in there would have been like walking through the old walled corridors and rooms. We spent a good two hours there taking it all in and the enjoyed some of the Easter activities that they ran. There is a serving baguettes and warm drinks. How anything can be so ruinous yet so magnificent is beyond me but Carew is just that. From the friendly greeting and advice at the modern reception and shop to exploring the and enjoying a picnic in the peaceful garden, we had a lovely day. We used the QR codes around the to access the audio descriptions of the various areas which were interesting and enhanced the visit. My wife uses a mobility scooter and could access a surprisingly good part of the ruins. For the more agile the climbs up the slate spiral staircases up the towers is fun. The admission price also includes admission to the interesting Tidal Mill. The mile long circular to the Mill and over the causeway back to the ( free ) car park is pleasant and a decent surface for the disability scooter. A very enjoyable indeed. Beautiful with walks. The nest had a vegan and gluten free options available. The gift shop had stuff there Built in 1270, built & owned by the Carew family for over 900yrs. Great few place to for 3-4hrs. Beautiful & grounds to wander round, our children (5&7) loved dressing up and having a go at archery 🏹 There always seems to be activities for young kids. £26.50 for a family ticket which includes entry to the tidal mill & free car parking. We also went crabbing off the wall next to the mill. The is nice, standard prices for this kind of attraction. Lovely castle, wonderful to wander round, especially on a beautiful day. Would recommend to anyone visiting Pembrokeshire. Our cat immediately claimed the role of Lord of Carew during our visit, making himself at home in all available arrow slits. This place is fabulous. The is in shape and has many exciting things for and adults to do and explore. The treasure hunt was fun and so was “finding the key” activity. The admission price is fair. The has food - including a meal and awesome cakes. Overall, a day out for the family! ruin with lots of rooms to and different levels. Treasure hunt for the with a prize at the end. Archery was fun and the staff on site today were very enthusiastic and put on shows. Nice around the and moat to do as well. Family friendly and fun. A large beautiful to explore. A big car park for plenty of cars, which the is a short from. When you first enter the wall, you are greeted with a sweet little seating area with a cafe, we didn't get anything from the on this occasion. You enter the shop to buy your enter ticket, which is reasonably priced. There are toilets on site and a little area for the to play before you get to the castle. There are loads of room to and plenty of information boards about, the boards had QR codes on so you can listen instead of read about where you are standing. Some little stories that we have taken away that are fascinating. The is also a pigeon haven, lots around happily cooeing away. They obviously nest there as walking around we started playing spot the egg shell. There is a little wild meadow walk, which has signs up with little tasks for all the family to get their teeth into. The particularly loved this bit. It's definitely worth a if you are in the area. Fascinating castle! Lots of history and stories. Take some headphones/ear buds for the guided audio tour and information that you can access via your phone using the QR code. The on site has delicious cakes and food available and hot drinks on the cooler days. Ticket also includes the Mill museum a short from the castle. Worth popping down to take a look at the old Mill and original restored and preserved mechanism. A visit. Thank you. Lovely - for to explore. We did the quiz around the castle, there was an archery section to have a go at. And on the wildflower meadow, there were stops with boards on how to become a Knight- fun! Tea- shop was reasonably priced and food was delicious A brilliant insight into the castle. Lots of history. Can take your dogs in. A your ticket also covers entry into the tidal mill, just about a ten minute from the castle. Good facilities, nice gift shop and cafe. Lots of little nooks and crannies with some areas furnished, and a free audio tour (via phone/QR code) which helped bring the to life. Free knight training session for the was fun. Entrance fee was reasonable. Overall we had a lovely afternoon. We had an excellent to Carew with our 9 and 11 year old boys. Bowlore: Legends of bow and blade were visiting and absolutely made the visit, bringing to life some of the medieval history. Lovely cafe. Really day out.
