Picton Castle, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, SA62 4AS, SA62 4AS
Picton Castle is a most unusual ancient building being in design half fortified manor house and half fully developed medieval castle.From the outside with its four symmetrically spaced half round towers and gatehouse entrance flanked by two narrower towers it looks like a miniature version of a great Edwardian Castle such as Conwy in North Wales. However as soon as one enters inside it is revealed not to have an inner courtyard and keep but rather a series of finely planned rooms typical of the grand country house that it is. There is no other building quite like it in Britain.
