Haverfordwest Castle, located in the town of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, is a historic fortification with origins dating back to the 12th century. The castle was initially constructed around 1120 by the Norman lord Gilbert de Clare, as part of the Norman efforts to consolidate their control over the region. Over the centuries, Haverfordwest Castle underwent numerous modifications and expansions, reflecting the changing political and military landscape of medieval Wales.

The castle's strategic position on a high promontory overlooking the Western Cleddau River provided it with a commanding view of the surrounding area, making it a critical defensive site. Its early structure likely consisted of a motte-and-bailey design, which was common during the Norman period. However, by the late 12th and early 13th centuries, the castle had been significantly rebuilt in stone, featuring a formidable curtain wall and several towers.

Throughout its history, Haverfordwest Castle played a pivotal role in various conflicts, including the Welsh Wars of Independence and the English Civil War. During the latter, the castle changed hands multiple times between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces, leading to considerable damage. By the end of the Civil War, the castle had fallen into a state of disrepair.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, parts of the castle were repurposed for use as a prison, with additional buildings constructed within the castle grounds. Today, Haverfordwest Castle is a Grade I listed building and a significant historical landmark. Although much of the structure is in ruins, it remains a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history of Pembrokeshire and the medieval period in Wales. The site is managed by the Pembrokeshire County Council, which has undertaken various conservation efforts to preserve the castle's remains for future generations.
