What is recorded here
Lawrenny Castle Walled Garden in Pembrokeshire dates to the 18th Century, when stone walls probably blocked wind and prying eyes around tender plants. The garden may have smelled of damp earth and ripe fruit while people worked in narrow beds beside the castle. Its boundary still marks a time when luxury required protection from weather and theft.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Lawrenny Castle Walled Garden, Lawrenny as Walled Garden from the 18th Century period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Lawrenny Castle Walled Garden was part of Lawrenny Castle, a medieval stronghold built by the de Lacy family in the 13th century, later held by the Herbert family. The walled garden, dating to the 18th century, reflects the estate's long history and its role in the agricultural and social life of the local area.
