A NEW sculpture has been added to gardens at Haverfordwest Castle, which sit just below the historic monument.
The sculpture takes the form of a keystone, with a circular hole cut right through the middle.
The medieval ‘burgage’ gardens, at the end of Castle Lake car park, have finally reopened after extensive work was carried out, which included replanting, and new walkways and benches being installed.
Funding for the project was provided by Pembrokeshire County Council, Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity programme, and Pembrokeshire Nature Partnership.
The wildlife and biodiversity features include bat boxes, boxes for swifts, hedgehogs and birds, planting of small trees and hedges, medieval bee hives put on the site, and wild flower meadows.

Pembrokeshire County Council is planning to create a new footpath in Haverfordwest, connecting the historic castle and conservation area to the modern shopping district of the county town.
The proposal is to create a footpath, allowing easier access, and disabled access from Haverfordwest’s oldest building to Bridge Street.
Using the £17.7m government funding for the ‘Rediscovering Haverfordwest’ project, the county council calls the proposed Perimeter Walkway (North) 'a key component' to regenerating Haverfordwest.
