Sweets in Narberth: Mythical Palace of a Welsh Prince

Narberth's history blends real Norman masonry with one of the oldest stories in Welsh literature, and both are still visible in the town today.

The chief palace of Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed

Narberth holds a high-profile place in Welsh mythology: the Mabinogion names it as the chief palace of Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, and it features in both the first and third branches of those medieval tales, including the story of Rhiannon, who was forced to carry travellers through the gates as a penance.

A castle that never fell in battle

Narberth Castle began as a Norman motte and bailey in 1116, with the stone structure that survives today dating from the late 13th century. Despite changing hands several times, the castle never fell to an attacking force during the medieval period, remaining in English hands even through the Glyndwr Rising of 1400-1415 — it was finally slighted by Cromwell's forces around 1648.
