The iconic site of Haverfordwest Castle, is now ready for the next stage of development towards transforming it into a fantastic new visitor attraction for the town and wider county.

Over the last six months the walls of this Scheduled Ancient Monument have been painstakingly repaired by specialist heritage building conservationists, iBEX. Archaeological excavations have been undertaken by Heneb (The Trust for Welsh Archaeology), the inner bailey has been beautifully re-landscaped for outdoor events and concerts, and preparatory works to the old County Gaol building have now been completed by site contractor Morgan Sindall.

Work on the gaol has now moved onto the next phase, and the job of converting the building into a space suitable to house a state-of-the art heritage and environment-based visitor attraction, has begun.
