What is recorded here
Stanley Neale cleared the choking scrub in 1927 to reveal stone terraces and exotic trees hidden beneath centuries of neglect. Before him, Virginia Woolf's aunt called the castle home, and Woolf herself may have wandered those same paths near Manorbier. The medieval heart still beats beneath the nineteenth-century additions, with original towers and spiral staircases waiting for visitors who wander the gardens today.
Upton Castle Gardens is shown as a castle on the public map of Pembrokeshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Upton Castle Gardens was likely built by the de Upton family in the 13th or 14th century. It is remembered for its historic gardens and as an example of medieval castle architecture in Pembrokeshire.
