At the summit, you'll find the barely discernible remnants of a 12th-century Norman keep, fittingly called 'Wiston Castle'. There's also a fabulous stone outcrop which makes a perfect spot for your coffee break!
Wiston Castle primarily consists of Old Red Sandstone, providing a fascinating glimpse into the geological history of the area. This sandstone is known for its vivid reds and oranges, particularly striking at sunrise or sunset.
From the summit, gaze over the rolling hills of Pembrokeshire and, on a clear day, even catch a glimpse of the distant Preseli Mountains. Don’t forget your binoculars!
The name 'Wiston' is believed to derive from the Old English meaning 'wine estate', reflecting the area's agricultural heritage.
Wiston Castle is historically significant as a defensive structure during the Norman period, stemming from its strategic location overseeing the lands.
