Pembroke
Pembroke is the traditional county
town of Pembrokeshire in south west Wales. One major landmark in the
town is the impressive remains of the Norman Pembroke Castle, the
birthplace of Henry VII of England. Pembroke and the surrounding area
have close links with the early Christian Church. There are also remains
of medieval shipyards for the building of wooden ships before the
building of the Admiralty Dockyard. A few miles to the north lies the
ferry port of Pembroke Dock, established in the early nineteenth
century.
