What is recorded here
Newport Castle in Pembrokeshire is a medieval castle recorded in the national heritage register. The name appears twice in some lists, a small trap for the careless, but the Pembrokeshire identity is clear. Stone, sea air and time have done their work there, leaving a place that belongs to Wales rather than to a single owner or a modern guidebook.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Newport Castle, Pembrokeshire as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Newport Castle, Pembrokeshire was built in the late 12th or early 13th century by the de Clares, a prominent Norman family who controlled much of south-west Wales. It is remembered as a key stronghold in the defense and administration of Pembrokeshire during the medieval period.
