Queen Eleanor's Bower
Queen Eleanor's Bower
Queen Eleanor of Castile, wife of Edward 1st, 'Hammer of the Scots,' and also of the Welsh for that matter, could well be described as an early advocate of holidays in Pembrokeshire, for she seemed to have a great love of the area. When in 1289, Humphrey de Bohun 111 gave Haverfordwest Castle to Queen Eleanor, she spent large sums on the building having taken a particular fancy to it, say the historians.
