EDITORS COMMENTS
Manorbier Castle, also known as Castell Maenorbyr, is a striking Norman fortification nestled in the picturesque village of Manorbier, located south-west of Tenby in South Wales. This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases the breathtaking view of the castle against the backdrop of the Welsh countryside. The medieval structure, with its towering keep and defensive walls, stands proudly atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the rugged coastline. The castle's rich history dates back to the 13th century, when it was built by the Normans as a defensive stronghold against Welsh raiders. The castle's name, Manorbier, is believed to derive from the Old Welsh words "man o' bier," meaning "monk's grave," possibly referring to the presence of a monastic settlement in the area. The castle's lantern-topped tower, which can be seen in this photograph, is a distinctive feature and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The castle's beautiful location, with its proximity to the sea and the rolling hills of South Wales, has made it a popular tourist destination and a cherished piece of Welsh heritage. This photograph, with its timeless quality and evocative sense of history, transports us back to a bygone era and invites us to imagine the stories and secrets that lie within the walls of this magnificent castle.
