Holiday in Pembrokeshire: A Visit to Picton Castle



On a wet Saturday afternoon I visited Picton Castle. I got in on my "Historic Houses Association" ticket and the tour of the castle was quite interesting, particularly the way that the first room visited, in one of the corner "towers" had curved everything....windows, doors, the lot!


Once the tour ended, however (and the rain appeared to have stopped) I made a circuit of the surrounding gardens, abloom with various Rhodedendrons, and aglistening with raindrops...which was a nice combination!



Fallen trees are incorporated into the garden, not tidied away. I liked that too!















Walled garden and fernery also included:
