What is recorded here
Walwyn's Castle is a medieval castle built inside an older Iron Age promontory fort in Pembrokeshire. The name suggests a link to Gwalchmai, sometimes called Gawayn, and local story claims his grave lay beneath the mound. The place is also a living village, with a church still used for Sunday worship and a former school now serving as a community hall.
