Ghosts
...Spooky Haunts & Tales Of The Otherworld
This impressive Norman castle overlooking the unspoilt beach at Manorbier is the birthplace of Gerald of Wales (1146-1223), whose ghost is thought to occupy his former home. The dramatic location has inspired literary greats like Virginia Woolf whose first novel, The Voyage Out, was conceived at Manorbier Castle in 1908. George Bernard Shaw often stayed here when writing his plays, and Siegfried Sassoon penned his poem about Manorbier in 1924 when he holidayed nearby with his friends the de la Mares. The castle is open to the public and offers a cafe, turrets, walled gardens and a dungeon to explore.
