Roch - Castle

Roch - Castle
Roch Castle is a 12th-century castle built by Norman knight Adam de Rupe in the second half of the 12th century


It is located near the unmarked border which for centuries has separated the English and Welsh areas of Pembrokeshire.

During the English Civil War the castle was captured by the Parliamentary forces and subsequently burned in 1644.

The castle remained decaying until 1900, when purchased by John Philipps, 1st Viscount St Davids, who restored it. The castle was purchased again in 2008 and was restored as a hotel.
